Blast from the past! How to re install and add mods
 

It's been awhile since I played the sim but I'm ready to get back in. Anyway, my PC went thru a major upgrade, new chip, new graphics card, water cooling, new unstall of windows. Everything is up and running fine. So I decided to install SH3 new again (clean install). I installed the game, patched and tried the GW mods in the correct order. I found some things not working so I decided to un install and try again. My question is when does the install ask for the game registration number, because when I try to load the game it freezes at the protection system checking disc. Right now its a clean install no mods but the 1.4b patch. If I click on the game icon it will freeze, if I select play from disc,it will run. ? I'm confused. My other question would be if I decide to load the GW mods again, GW1, GWupdate, Tonnage war, NYGM unified campaign, is this order correct and should I allow each other to overwrite files already installed or changed.
I am willing to uninstall and reload if needed as long as I can get it to install again with no hang ups.

Thanks
Mike

If your SH3 disc is not in your DVD rom when you click your icon it will not work
