Before I touch this clean SHIII install, I have a minor annoyance that I want to clear up before I start modding.


Double-clicking the "SHIII.exe", the first time, does nothing. Whether it's the actually exe or a shortcut...nothing much seems to happen...maybe a bit of HDD access but game will not open. Double-clicking a second time on the EXE or shortcut opens the game immediately.


This may be some Windows 7 UAC stupidity...I don't know as no errors come up on first attempt. It's a minor annoyance BUT...I would like to ensure it is not an indication of something importantly wrong with this install before I move ahead.


Any enlightenment is appreciated.
Ahoy, prowler3...

With regards to your SH3 copy, what is the source for it & where in your HD do you have it installed, if you would make that known. Thanks...
