After MANY months of computer problems, I am getting a new one. I really miss playing SHIII and believe that the problems might have been caused by it. I replaced the Power supply 450watt, motherboard, two video cards (9800pro and GF6600 256mb) and RAM. I even reinstalled xp many times. I purchased the game through Subsim.com, in fact I pre-ordered it to support this website. Is there a work around to restore my faith that it is safe to load or should I just wait for SHIV. Thanks for any advice. PS Notice I did not mention any taboo words in this post;)

I don't see any issues. The new Grey Wolves mod has brought some much needed life into the game. Judging by you rig, the game should run and look great!:up:

Thanks for the reply and yes it SHOULD run great- but I still am getting crashes/reboots. Anyway I just order a whole new rig from Dell, AMD64 3800, 1gig ram, and GF 7600gs 256mb video. But I dont want to go down this road again if Silent Hunter III caused all these problems (ie SF):down: I already proved it messed up my DVD/RW when it was installed, the problem went away after uninstall.

peace,
Tim

Is it possible to get any details of your problem? Or is it that I just missed the secret 'code'

Funny about that SF. I have not had any issues with it. Heck, I just have an E-Machine, AMD 3200+, some NVidia motherboard, Nvidia 6200 OC videocard. I do not know what E-Machines uses for the DVD/ROM drive but mine works just fine with SF. It is the odd that it affects some but not all. I understand there is a CD crack out there for SF but you did not hear it from me:nope:
