I know it may sound crazy, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to make sure a lot of the common crud is gone?

There is something in the software that must permanently imbed itself into the registry that holds your CD code, because I too had only to enter it once despite numerous reinstalls (bad mod somewhere, still haven't isolated it entirely)

Also make sure that your original install directories are GONE if possible before starting, or at least the default folders (like data and such) that mods would alter. In my experience, Silent Hunter will uninstall more than its original files on uninstall -- even files I copied into the main directory -- but it will often leave other folders it doesn't recognize (BACKUP and MODS, for me) alone.
