problem was I encountered little bugs like freezeups and crashes on occasion
I learned to save/continue during missions which seemed to help
Finally ended up in mid-patrol and game would not start up without crashing so I decided to do a fresh install - uninstalled everything but kept current patrol files and reinstalled SH3 DVD version with Gameshadow
So SH3 installs fine - but Gameshadow says they've never heard of me and the V1.4 patch says it's not compatible with my version of SH3 ?? so GWX won't work
I originally downloaded GWX from Gameshadow - I see that there's an update now
Is there some basic thing missing besides my admitted lack of computer skills?

I am not 100% sure but I think the problems you're facing are due to the fact that you kept the files in the C\My Documents\SH3 folder. When you reinstall the game you must have that folder clean or erased (Basically just re-name it to something else). About Gameshadow I don't know, but if you have trouble getting the game from them, just click on my signature or on the link under it to get all the GWX bin files, the installer (GWX.exe) and the latest patch GWX1.03. As far as the SH3 v1.4 Patch is concerned make sure of two things:
1. That the game is not already patched to 1.4
2. That you're using the correct version of the patch for your game. There are four patches. Two American (DVD and internet vesions) and Two European (DVD and Internet versions)
