I've been haveing a lot of problems trying to install SH 3 on my new rig..

In fact it just wont load... When I click on the SH 3 Icon the screen goes black, the music begins to play then stops, it starts again momentarily then stops again and theres no video.. At this point all I have is a black screen.. The rig is locked up and I have to do a hard boot to get back to the desk top... I tried some of the fixes that I came across in the UBI forum, but nothing really changed ...
The suggestion was to load the Vista drivers from Starforces web sight..

Well this didn't work either, anyway I had installed them some time ago when I installed Lock On Flaming Cliffs ...

I read some where that Starforce stated that UBI was responsible for the problem and that they would have to resolve it them selves..
I'm sure that others had the exact same problem. So this is my question, is there a work around for this issue or do I leave the game on my shelf as another unplayable???

This is why I never post here that much anymore... I seldom if ever get any answers to any of the questions that I ask...I don't even get acknowledgement that any one on these forums notices that I exist...

I guess thats the way it is here.... sigh!!

You have to use uhm, a "patch" ... to get rid of Starforce. Otherwise, it just won't work.

Ok, Awesome....

I've finally got the ShIII to install correctly with Vista..

I found the answer on the Sub Sim websight ... I didn't install Game shadow, and it seems to be fine without it ????

I'm sure that there's more to it, but for now I'm familiarising myself with ShIII...

Thanks again Guys ..
