The "Clean Sweep" Uninstall
 

I can hardly wait for GWX. I would like to get my hard drive ready for this new sim.

Could any of you computer/windows experts give a detailed blow-by-blow on how to prepare our harddrive for a new install?

Details include please:

1. How to unistall old sim
2. How to clean registry
3. When to defrag (after uninstall?)
4. Order of new install (SH-3, 1.4b, GWX, Must-Have-Mods (Nomograph), SH-3 Commander)???

5. Anything else I forgot?

Just unistall the game through ADD/Remove programs

No need to touch registery

Defrag after unistall

Load SH3
Patch to 1.4b
Load GWX - this will also install JSGME
Load SH3Commander

There will be a GWX specific SH3Commander 2.7

When to defrag ?
Once a week...;)

Some people say no need to touch regisrty....
others say touch registry......

Never a straight answer in computerland!:damn: :nope:

If your machine isn't reporting any registry file problems then do as BBW suggests...leave well alone :yep: :up:

Juimbuna is right. Don't screw around with the registery unless you have a problem.

Hi!
I have 2 fine Progs for You:

This Prog is very Easy to use,but very Good.You should uninstall SH3 with this Prog.You can clean the Reigstry and much more,without Risk.
I use it for about 7 Month,no Probs!

Sometimes you have Probs with Re-Install the same Prog,than you should use this Prog.Its made by Microsoft ..
All Versions of Windows.

I hope that will help you,

Rolf Eschke Thanks

Here's a program that will fix your Registry, and other sections, as there are days you will need a fix. It's Error Killer and it scans you computer completely. It costs to get it but it is a one time only charge. I have it for 2 computers(29.95) and wouldn't be without it, it works great. Go to www.errorkiller.com
