OK - I was going through "D" (CD) drive as an experiment, trying to initiate the "autorun" feature for the disk, thinking that would allow the sim to run as it should, instead of my going into the "F" drive (a terrabyte drive - plenty of room, but not the machine's main drive - that is "E" drive), opening the sim's file, and running it from the ".exe" file located there.

I installed it into the terrabyte drive because for once there is PLENTY of room on the disk.

Moving the ".exe" icon to the desktop, and opening the sim from there, with or without the disk in "D" drive, does not stop this from happening.

Running the sim without the disk in the disk drive, and opening the sim either with the desktop icon or through opening the "F" drive, and clicking on the ".exe" file there to open the sim, doesn't fix this either.

I hesitate to change any of the graphics settings through the card's control panel as I have other sims on this machine that benefit greatly from its increased settings.

This did not start until the machine crashed a short time ago and everything on the bad main drive was cloned over to the new good main drive. Other sims that were not located on the crashed main drive work fine since this cloning, this one seems to be the only one not previously located on the bad drive giving me trouble. BTW SH4 ran with excellent graphics and gameplay, even with very high graphics settings (highest the sim allowed), prior to the crash.

Mention is made of a game clean-up option that is available somewhere on this site. Please, where is this located?
