This will not solve your real problem, but will result in any future SH2 crashes returning you to your desktop (where you can actually do something) as opposed to the dreaded black screen of screenblanker.
To get rid of the screenblanker, just change the last item in your start-up path to SH2 as noted below.
Make it read c:\program files\SSI\Silent Hunter II\Shell\Shell.exe
