Windows just offered me an optional update from Nvidia for my graphics card which I installed.
I have some Spintop games on my machine that I was playing instead today so I only just attempted to play SH3 tonight but something strange when I clicked the SH3 shortcut nothing happened I tried again still nothing.
Ah I thought that dam driver so I rolled back the driver to my graphics card and guess what up popped SH3 as soon as I clicked on the shortcut.
just to make sure I re-installed the new driver and sure enough no SH3 how strange is this so if you find SH3 no longer works on your machine check to see if you have the new driver on it

Might be that it just killed the shortcut on your desktop. Got a couple of those. All of the sudden Office, Adobe and so on wont start anymore when I cliek the Icons.
Check the shortcut for the path, would not surprise me if it somewhow got reseted, as they were on my PC.

I was thinking that so I went in the main SH3 folder and click the
SH3 application but it still didn't work

I have now tried all diffrent ways with the new driver on and it wont start.
Im using Windows 7 64bit. back to the old driver for me

Just a question but having similar problems. What version driver works and which doesn't?

I hope this doesn't happen with ATI too, as it's time for me to upgrade.

Nope nothing to do with the res of the screen
the whole game will not start to load nothing at all when the shortcut is clicked
on the desk top or the game folder itself.

New Version driver from Nvidia Dated 11/01/2001 version 8.17.11.9621

my old version that works Dated 27/09/2009 version 8.16.11.9107
