So...could I just delete the folder and be o.k.? Or reinstall?

With any luck...if your problems are in your My Documents folder...yup, by deleting your folder first, THEN reinstalling the game, you should be ok. That way, you'll be eliminating the files that have bugs, and doing a clean, install, which will replace your My Documents files with clean, unbugged ones as well.

Good luck!

Ah. I did not do that. Here are some of my remaining problems:

1. Torpedoes won't reload. Eternally "in queue [sic]" No, silent running isn't on, and there are PLENTY of crew in the torp room.

2. Flak is manned, but I can't control it.

3. I sink a ship, but it is not noted on my navigation map. It is listed in the log, however.

:damn:

EDIT: I guess I need to find ALL files, EVERYWHERE, and delete them...the only problem is, I can't help but feel I'd somehow miss some of them.

EDIT2: I reinstalled, then tried to patch up to 1.4, and was told I couldn't because a certain file wasn't recognized. I deleted that file and all was well. It was just a text file, anyway.

Also, I got prompted about whether I wanted to remove my "save" files on uninstall. I didn't get this, last time. I told the uninstaller to remove them.

1.) torp reload...make certain that the green bar above the room is at least halfway up going from left to right. On your torpedo management screen (press 'I'), make certain that 'autoreload' at the top left of that screen is checkmarked. Lastly, it seems to take forever for torpedos to load at normal time compression (1X). There should be a countdown clock showing time left to reload the torp(s) when you position the mouse over the torp. If anyone has other possible causes...jump in. I'm running out of possibilities. :rotfl:
2.) Flak gun. What do you mean by 'can't control it'? If you have men on the flak guns, they should automatically start firing on their own if aircraft are within range. You need to have a Watch Officer on the conn. Click on him, and a menu will come up for you to "Man flak gun", "Man Deck Gun", etc. Select Man flak gun, and then select what you want them to do...fire at close - medium - long range, fire at fighters - bombers, fire at closest target, and fire at will. If you haven't ordered them to fire at will, they will HOLD FIRE and sit there as spectators only.
3.) I don't know if this is the cause or not, but click on the wall map when you're in the Office. On the lower right, click on "CHANGE REALISM". When your realism options come up, scroll down to the last item in the left column - 'No Map Contact Update'. If that's checkmarked, remove it. That MIGHT be the cause.
Good luck.:up:

Well, the FLAK gun would be manned, but I couldn't fire it, myself, when I went to the position.

All the other things were indeed screwed up, too!!! :rotfl:
