Peaboby You are the MAN! Thanks. ALT-TAB gave me the keys to the Kingdom.
Now what was the message-it was weird. It said I was missing a dds file-no biggie so I'd just go back to a 3 year old DATA file from SH4 in my old computer to copy and paste. ezzy peezy. hmmm no. I didn't have that file. Long and short I just created the dds file. {blue highlight in screen capture} Its a dds file of the name on the ID books. I just copied one-gave it the name and pasted leatherette texture over the name. Weird. Game asked for a file that never existed.
Must have did something wrong with a country-funny thing is-all my vessels show in the museum and the museum never froze up-and All my missions loaded normal except for the first one when the game started. Thanks again Peabody. Going to bed now-it's after 12.
Oh yeah I have SH4 in 3 different locations Program X86, Programs and C\Ubisoft (thought it was a hard drive location caused error) and always got the same error-turned off developer debugging in the SH4 config file in Documents(then set to read only), video settings etc etc ton of other attempts to solve this problem.
So the missions play-but still will investigate what caused this.
