I purchased a brand new SH3 DVD which is not even out of the box. I did this, just is case there was a problem with the original SH3 that I bought. The original DVD is scratched a bit and I heard that if the DVD is left in the drive and the computer is turn on and off every day with it in the drive, the DVD itself can be damaged because of it being "jarred" everytime the computer is started. Well, this could also be a reason that the original SH3 DVD could be a problem with the number of fresh install I made with it. So the new install of SH3 will be from a new, unused SH3 DVD.

I sincerely hope that I can use the data and mod folders by pasting it into the new install.
