4. Delete the “C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Pr ogram Files\SilentHunterIII”
folder and all its contents, if it exists.
5. Reinstall Silent Hunter III. The GWX Team recommends you install it outside of the “\Program
Files” folder
6. Right-click the 1.4b patch “.exe” file and select “Run as administrator”
7. Install the patch
8. Verify you installed the patch correctly by running the game.
9. If the game fails to run, download and install the StarForce Vista update from the StarForce
developers’ site: http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip.
10. You can now run optional tools like SH3 Commander, JSGME, SH3Gen, etc. provided you run
them as an “Administrator” after you have installed them.

For some reason XP looks really good!!:rotfl: |
I didn't have any problems with installing/running sh3. All of my games I just installed thinking that vista and xp were the same thing when it comes to software. No game refused to run or to install, and to be honest, no game crashed so far, while a lot of games crashed when I had vista.
But then again, I always had a separated partition for games, so it might be the solution.
