Heya,
I just installed SH3 on my Windows 7 Machine. The install goes just fine. How ever I can't run the game it says: "Error - This application can be launched with a release version of Microsoft Windows 95/OSR2.1/98/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 only." I looked through the thread on how to run the game under Vista. I thought the same would apply here. But it does not. At least not entirely. Has anyone gotten it to work in Windows 7? I had the game create a large fancy report on the problem, but its mostly wierd computer-numbers!  I can't make sense of it at least.Jacob |

Have you tried running SHIII under the Wins XP simulation that comes with Win 7? _____________________________________  "Head Deep and Keep'em Astern" LtCDR Samuel D Dealey Custom Missions, SHIV Guide, OV..Gato Class, OV..Balao Class, OV..US Subs, Imperial Japanese Navy, Sub Insignia Sigs, Eternal Patrol |

I'm not sure how to use that. But I'll have a look at it. Maybe I can make that work.
But I'm pretty sure there is no DirectX support in the WinXP simulator. Jacob |

There is nothing wrong with SH3. SH3 works fine with any OS. Problem is Starforce is blocking your playability. You have to find a work around.
Goodluck. WH  |

Find out how to install without SF and everything will be fine.
There is a sticky thread in the German SH III UBI-Forum concerning this issue. |

I can't find that german SH3 ubi forum.
Is there a link to it somewhere on these forums. Jacob |

Hi. I would really appreciate if you could send me the steps please....I've finally got a PC capable of running SH3, and would love to be able to get it working. Thanks

Hi, can you post the solution in the forum or PM me? Can't find any other solutions on the internet. |
||||

Can someone also send me the steps to get silent hunter 3 to work with windows 7. Thanks for the step by steps. I have tried many times and I can get the intro to work but not the game.
I have the DVD and downloaded the 1.4b DVD or should I download the other 1.4b patch. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kassekoff, |

Hello
I have the same problem too can you send me a pm or a e-mail, please? paulo.lume@gmail.com Thanks a lot... |

I see that a lot of people need the solution, so I post it here.
1. Completely remove SH3, and Starforce: http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55 (execute the application in rar archive sfcdrvrem.rar) Go to the buttom of the page and you find the download to remove Starforce. 2. search for Silent Hunter 3 v1.4b [ENGLISH] No-DVD/Fixed EXE on ************* and download it. Its a zip-file (rld-sh14.rar) containing the following files: SH3.EXE, MISSIONENGINE.DLL, SIMDATA.DLL, UTILS.DLL & STATEMACHINE.DLL 3. Install SH3 and remove the disc from the drive after installation, make sure the game does NOT run after installation. 4. Patch to 1.4b (execute application silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea) and make sure the game doesn't start after patching. 5. Extract the contents of the zip-file into SH3's install directory and let it overwrite the files it needs to overwrite. 6. At this point you should be able to play the game. Kent |
