He he, I read this form for about 8 months before I was able to install the game on the new PC - I knew all about not changing mods in the middle of a mission.
Based on what I had read here, my standard save set-up involves 'save on entering port' and 'save on departing port' as well as the last mission save just prior to entering port, so I can go back to just before ending the last mission, if needed.
No mods were added/deleted during a mission, and didn't do anything differently than had been done before.
BTW, I checked the SH4 icon on the desktop and it points to SH4.EXE and not that new one (I think it was gu.exe) that had been mentioned in other places, where it checks 'home base' for info. I thought that might have been the cause of it (because some people mentioned that it was), but this was not the case.
My guess it was just a "bad luck Saturday afternoon" as far as saves are concerned.
BTW, this mission has been going for quite a while, and is in the 7 meg range - think that might have something to do with it? I'm not doing the "save replay" thing, either - heard that it doubles the size of your save file.
