From my experience, when you uninstall SH3 there are still numerous files left hanging around.
First, do a search for the leftover SH3 directory and delete it. If running SH3 Commander, uninstall it and do a search for the leftover SH3 Commander directory and delete it. Then delete the leftover SH3 files under "my documents." Then, run a program like Crap Cleaner (which is a free download by the way). You'll be surprised at the number of leftover files it comes up with! Next, do a checkdisk of your drive followed by a defrag of the harddrive.
Now, install SH3. Next install 1.4b patch and then install Grey Wolves. If running SH3 Commander, install it. Note: you'll need to open SH3 one time before you open with SH3 Commander because some files need to be set up first.
I know this because I had to do all of this last night myself. Note: I tried the 16k light option on Grey Wolves and it slowed my computer down to a crawl. So, I had to go and reinstall GW without it and it now works great.
Hope this is helpful.
