Well, I'm back again. I lost my first career with U51 in it's 44th patrol because of something.

Anyway, SH3 works fine now in loading the game, my careers, single missions. However, today I tried to load the museum to check on something. The loading screen for museum completely loaded and it went to the "Initializing" screen , then I got the same Windows Error I got before when I started having problems, then when I pressed "Don't Report" on that, everything reverted back to my desktop.

I don't think it is my XP OS because everything else works fine.

Now, my problem with a fresh install is that I have a lot of mods installed. So my question is, I rename my present SH3 folder, say "oldSH3" and do a fresh install. Can I then copy my data file and the mod folder from my original SH3 which is now "oldSH3" into the fresh install. Of course I would have backed up my careers as well.

I would hate to have to make a complete fresh start by putting on a new XP operating system because I have almost 40 gig of data that I have to move if I have to do a reformat.
