Many people have been getting the Exception Error in the directx dll... and crashing to desktop....
Many things are tried, including using 16 bit desktop, new drivers, pulling hair, yada yada yada... GREAT GAME once it gets running by the way
Well I found something that worked better than anything as a fix for me.
I now play it with Logitech's ITouch Running, 32 Bit mode, every service on my system running.... hmm in fact.. YAY a totally Normal BOOT! in Windows XP.
On the Program Icon to start SCF3, click properties.
Go to Compatibility.
Choose DISABLE VISUAL THEMES.
Click Apply
WALLA! Happy Gaming!
No more messing with any settings for me.. Runs Great !
