To my knowledge, if you patch to q.4b and install GWX there is no way your saved games will work. Most Kaleuns in real life were promoted after 5 or 6 patrols and were at other jobs (frequently training and or desk jobs, and not on subs anymore.
The new DVD are starforce free, already patched to 1.4b and do not require the disk to be in the drive to play the game. And they cost about $10.
I don't know about downloaded games.
If you wish, you can save your SH3 folder from My Documents, reinstall, and then place the SH3 folder back into My Documents. The worst thing that will happen is CTD. In which case, delete and run SHIII again and you are fine.
I never had any careers to save, as most of my Kaleuns went down with their ships.
To remove starforce, google it and it will take you to the web site where you can download the tool to remove it.
