Sehr Geehrter Kapitän-Leutnant Cook,

What you have described is just what has been happening to me. A few weeks ago somebody asked on another thread if anyone was having problems with W7. I straightaway replied that everything was hunky-dory with me in this respect, for I had only just installed SHIII GWX3 into my new W7 rig.

I spoke too soon, because I had just started a 1939 career from Wilhelmshaven and was chugging around Helgoland at the time and I had also just slotted three eels into the unfortunate HMS Barham on a try-out of the individual missions and everything was running A1, or so it seemed to me at the time.

And then...CTD during patrols, CTD after 90% loading of a saved patrol, CTD at 90% loading an individual mission.

I've done everything that I can think of to get the game running as it had done before, everything apart from a compete system restoration. And I do not wish to do that because all my other games are running just fine, which games include SH4 RFB RSRD, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Call of Duty World at War, Asssassin's Creed and Batman Arkham Asylum.

I am now seriously thinking of undertaking a dual operating system installation so that I can have Windows 7 and XP on my machine: I can see no other way out of this problem.
