They should end up in the root of the SH3 game install folder. But if you use Vista or Windows 7 and have it installed into the default location in Program Files (x86), then UAC might have thrown a curve-ball at you. Since you had the game fullscreen you probably didn't notice the warning prompt.

[EDIT]Look for BMP files named: SH3Img@date_time.bmp

Very strange...have you searched as suggested by Pisces?

I use Fraps and they are automatically directed to a folder I have especially created and have just taken one without Fraps and it is in the SH3 folder.

If you have a secondary drive or your only one is partitioned then use that....Drive D (if you have one is far better) is far better.

Definitely the safest/best way.....don't forget to clean the registry files.

thx ill try try that mate . its just so i can explain a few things better about the TVT v2 mod and the olc mk2 gold. im running gwx gold 3.0 as foundation but ive watched the tutorials on the videos for TVTv2 but some of the things are missing and it doesnt seem set up the same plus when i go onto navigation map the circle thts normally there to indicate where ur u boat is isnt there. The only way i can see where i am on the map is to go to plot a course then i can see where the line is coming from.

just wondering: are you using Steam version of the game by any chance?

Because in that case all the files, theoretically, will go to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamaps\common\Silent Hunter 3\
