After getting 1.0 to run - only long enough to see it on your screen, exit SH4, and re-boot the computer to clear the memory & temp files.

After the computer restarts, install the 1.4 patch, not 1.1 or 1.2. (they are in 1.4).

Then, configure the shortcut to use sh4.exe - not gu.exe, and reboot the computer again.

After re-starting, SH4 should start up and not need the DVD.

Be sure to install to:

C:\
a sub game
.... Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific
Program files
Program files (x86)
Users
Windows
