Hi Guys, Just got my new computer today, I nearly cried when i went to play SH3 and it comes up with a little error box saying "Cannot intialize 3d engine"

Im running

Intel Quad 9505
Intel Chipset Motherboard
4Gb Ram
500Gb Sata Hard drive
NVidia GTX-260 Video Card
720 watt power
Windows 7 32 bit system

Please help, I live and breath SH3.

Thanks

Thanks Tarjak, I fixed it! I just needed to lower the screen resloution to 1024x768 instead of the 1920x1200 i was running.

Thanks for your help

If you set it up right you should be able to play it at the higher resolution. IIRC you just need to DL the hi res DLL fix and load that. As long as you use the same screen res as the game res you should be OK.
