Either I'm doing something wrong, or the Mods don't like Windows 7.

Any suggestions on what to do?

1) Have you installed SH3 + GWX, only stock or some other super mod?
- GWX installs by itself the folder called "MODS" (with special GWX mods) inside of your SH3 directory.

2) Are you confusing JSGME (to manage mods) with SH3 Commander, because SH3 CMD has nothing to do with the just mentioned "MODS" folder ?! (BTW: an older version of JSGME comes too with the GWX installation, inside of sh3 installation folder).
- Put the stuff you copied into your SH CMD folder back into it's place of origin which is SH3 directory!
If you do not remember which files inside of your SH CMD folder were from the SH3 folder I suggest to uninstall SH CMD only. The files which are part of the game should still remain there, because that's something you cannot uninstall when uninstalling SH CMD, right?

3) Now that the "MODS" folder is back in its place get JSGME (if you havent already by GWX).
- Put it inside of your SH3 folder !! Run it and check if you see any mods on the left side. Then switch the mods (if you can see any) you wanna run to the riiiight side, luke... If there aren't any I suggest to open the "MODS" folder to see for yourself if there is anything..

BTW, maybe you wanna get a newer version of JSGME from subsim ?

OR:
4) Uninstall everything
5) Install vanilla sh3
6) Install gwx.
7) Go to your sh3 directory. Open the folder documentation and run the file "Manual_V3.0.pdf". It's the manual of GWX. There go to page 23 "GWX OPTIONS". You can read there how to use mods !

8) To run SH CMD with SH3+GWX you also need this I believe:
