However Windows XP had other ideas.
Having docked at Brest, I was required to return to Lorient. Easy, I thought, cahnge Null to BF14, whip out there, patrol and then return to Lorient.
No chance. I load the SH3 commander, change the grid, start up SH3, click our little wolf, click the start video, wait forever for GWX to load, select the current career and start a new patrol. Bingo!
BUT: SH3 loads, I go to the main map, it loads the game, and crash! black screen and the stupidly irritating message: Silent Hunter has found a problem, were sorry but if you have any data it's gone! click ok and bye!
This happened again and again. I tried restarting windows (usually fixes it) no go. In the end in desperation I delete the career and start another one at the same time (Oct 1940). No good. It still crashes --- arghhh!
Any ideas???? anybody?????
