Hi Neal,

Your instructions:
1. make a clean install of SH2

2. Install the official 1.1 patch

3. Install Pacific Aces from the executable utility, pointing to your SH2 folder. (The one off the CD... RC4)

5. Install the Pacific Aces 1.1 patch.

I followed your instructions to the letter, I did not rename the SHII file to Pacific Aces. I only have one copy of Silent Hunter II on my hard drive, if an installation fails I remove all of the game including short cuts and files.
After installing I found that I had two Icons for Pacific Aces on my desk top and one Icon for Silent Hunter II. When I load Pacific Aces using either Icon I get a few selections, one is the option to Create a Mission and I can go through the steps to create the mission, but when I click ok nothing happens. The Career Option is not offered any where and I can play a saved mission that is part of the installation program, however I noticed that top speed for my Gato was 17 knots on the serface and I can not use the periscope at any depth.

Any suggestion?
Thank you for your help and time,
Darrell
