sh3.exe Already Running

ryanwigginton · 11-02-11, 01:17 AM

Just wondering if anyone has come across this before.

My install in brief is GWX3.0, SH3 Commander and h.sie's patch. Adding or removing mods through JSGME seems to have no affect on the problem. So, my install was working fine. Then one day I try to launch through SH3 Commander and SH3 Commander closes as if it's launching the .exe. I get some HDD activity, then nothing. So, I load up SH3 Commander again and re-launch and it tells me sh3.exe is already running.

I check using CTRL, ALT and DEL and there it is sh3.exe. But nothing on screen. The interesting part is, if I then terminate the application through task manager. Then try and launch again it works just fine. Restarting and re-installing SH3 Commander has had no affect. Neither has uninstalling all JSGME mods. I aslo, replaced my entire SH3 folder with a back-up and this didn't work either.

Only reason, I'm posting here is I'm away from home for the next 5 weeks or so and don't have my disc here to perform a re-install.

Any ideas? Perhaps a registry issue? I don't know.

Ahoy Ryan
Are you using Win7 ??
If so, I would try a reinstall of SH3 outside of Program files.
In other words; C/Ubisoft/SH3 instead of C/Program files/Ubisoft?SH3.
It can help with a lot of little startup bugs.
If you could provide a bit more info on your CP, that might give a hint as to a fix for this.
