I am glad your scope issue "cleared up". This last weekend I upgraded my old DX 9.0b drivers (for nVidia FX5600 go - laptop) with new version 80.40 drivers (DX 9.0c).

And, gosh, they worked! Now I can use the periscope as it was meant to be used! (no more slowing down to a crawl when the scope lens transitioned through the surface of the water).
At this poiint, it seems all aspects of SH3 are working now (I have 768 MB memory).
