Hi Mike,
Thanks for your suggestions
I've just now cleared all registry data on the nVidia driver and will now go on with next reinstall...

First thing after a reinstall I always patch (weird though that sometimes during the install the program tells me that it's patching... but when I enter the main menu SH5 isn't patched...
so, I usually patch using the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe)

You're right - I've forgotten to reboot after uninstall...
I always make sure the C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder is deleted as well as the C:\Ubisoft folder before sweeping the drive (CCleaner)

I'll follow your advice and install to another, new folder.
Then launch SH5 for a test run before installing JSGME and check - then install JSGME and load Parts Magui 3.01

Just wanna mention it again, can't be told too many times - Webster's 'How to Fix Mod Soup Issues' has proven to be reliable in many cases (even if it wasn't the answer to the question in my current case)
Could be useful for other mates around to know before going ballistic.

Thanks for the JSGME link
