Appreciate the responses. Didn't mean to sound testy, but sixty people had viewed the request for help and no one had even bothered to type--"Sorry, I don't know how to help you." Guess I've been spoiled by IL 2 Sturmovik--the All Aircraft Arcade and Mission 4 Today Forums. You could post a request for help filing your taxes and someone would promptly respond on those forums.

I'm new here. Not looking to make waves.
Anyway, thanks. Jake, I will try the Administrator thing. I do have Vista-32 bit. Hope that works. I have reinstalled the SH3 Commander, and the associated Config files--same thing.

Pices--I am loathe to do a complete reinstall. Although, with all the tinkering I've done over the past two weeks, maybe it might be a good idea in general. If I do, I will try installing to a non-default location.

Fubar--I have redownloaded SH3 Commander and reinstalled it, same issue, so probably not a corrupt download. Usually if I get a corrupt download, it won't extract, or if it does that, I'll get some sort of error message on installation. But if problems persist, I'll probably try the whole deal again on a fresh install of SH3 GWX Gold in a non-default directory.

Irish--I hope that is not the case, because using the Hi Res mod I am able to play the game in 1152x864 rather than 1024x768. The fixed aspect ratio works--no distortion of the game--and the resolution looks much sharper than default. Somehow though, I am sure that this mod is responsible for my screenshot game freeze problem. Another thing that would probably be fixed by a fresh install, patch, and expansion of the game.

Dammit. Guess I'm going to have to reinstall.

Thanks all--for giving a crap. Especially at this time of year. Happy New Year, prematurely to you all.
