When I double-click SH.exe, the screen goes full dark then the desktop comes back up with a small DOS window session present, saying "FINISHING SH". The screen contains an error message "EO12: VESA DRIVER NOT PRESENT (USE /V OPTION)"
I'm going to visit the nVidia website next and try to find out about the availability of this VESA driver - may be all I need ? Don't know why I didn't think of that right away. OR, should I be running a much better video card ?

You could try updating your video card drivers. I've always stayed away from nVidia based cards so I don't have that much experience with them. What happens when you use the /V option which loads SH's Universal VESA driver? (Some nVidia cards don't have built-in VESA support, you might have to check for an driver update that deals specifically with that issue!)
In my experience SH1 is the gem, I really was suprised when UBISoft bought up the rights to SH then released SH2-4. Personnally, I don't think they should even carry the Silent Hunter title, but that's big corporations for you so...
Some people have had good results with SH2-4 however. Checking the various forums here will guide you.
