Maybe you need to start from scratch again.
Uninstall SH3, by going to Start/ControlPanel/Add or Remove Programs, and uninstall SH3 from the list.
Reboot.
Now delete any remaining SH3 folders, including the one in your MyDocuments-folder.
Reboot.
Now the proper install-procedure:
- get this patch: silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_emea.exe, 20.5Mb.
- install the original SH3
- reboot (!)
- apply the patch
- reboot (!)
- run Windows Defragmentation over the partition(-s) that contains SH3
Now it should work, and you're ready to install mods if you wish to.
As you may notice, I made really clear to reboot everytime, so that the Windows-registry gets properly updated.
If it still doesn't work, then tell us what hardware and drivers you are using, and we'll see what can be done.
