Usually when luck is concerned I am un-lucky and never lucky - this is a first for me!

I'm sorry you didn't get it running - yes I've heard Silent Hunter - the older versions - don't like NVIDIA cards, you're right.

Edit: In case you were unaware, you can have both SH II and PA ready to run on your computer and both set up seperately.

After SH II is installed patched, and renamed to Pacific Aces, insert the disk and select Uninstall SH II - the only thing uninstalled is the registry entry that says SH II is installed. You don't lose the renamed install.

Then reboot, insert the disk again, and select "Install Silent Hunter II" and you will have two installs.

I really hope you get it going. I've heard of people going as far as installing a 2nd cheap ATI graphics card just to run these old classics.
