I was one of the people who seant the original poster a note saying
it would work fine, then he posted his note describing his problem.

I just remembered that I also had this problem when I first got Shanhai 2.0
(not only with the demo version as I had mestakenly told him) and got the
same response from Activision when I called them.

The reason I forgot all this is that the problem went away when I started using
Virtual (the virtual memory system from connectix).  I remember calling Scott
(the truly great tech at connectix) and happily reporting the world's first
anti-bug.


So perhaps those who are having no problem are all using virtual?  I never
got around to calling activision to report the situation to them. 



Hope this helps
