I second what hw3 says. Ive saved many a career doing that. Its an absolute lifesaver. Its quite common for the main.cfg file in the careers folder to become corrupt. Im not sure why it happens but it sometimes occurs whenever chkdsk runs or if a bluescreen serious error occurs while playing. I have no experience trying to run sh3 on windows 8 though. The main.cfg file when opened should have the basic settings and time compression settings written in text. If its corrupt it reads 0000000000000000000 for one line. Open with notepad if thats still in use on windows 8 to check it
