Hhey Spruence M...thanks

Here is what I did...Again!

Uninstalled sh3 commander...
Uninstalled SH3 & deleted those files in my docs & the ubisoft folder

ran defrag.

Ran "TuneUp Utilities 2007",
which has a seperate utility for going into the registry and finding all things that are at a dead end & deleteing them. (all the left over pieces) It really cleans things up well.

installed sh3 from cd & ran a single mission.

Installed the 1.4b patch & ran a single mission.

I made a folder on my desktop called GWX and then I
re-downloaded GWX.exe (installer) and all 5 bin files plus GWX103.exe into that folder.

I then ran the installer from that folder on my desktop...I assume that that installer is installing those five Bin files into the SH3 game folder which is in the ubisoft folder.
I then ran the game & did a single mission..rebooted & then installed the GWX103.exe.

then ran another single mission, rebooted and then...

Installed SH3Cmdr27.exe... I opened the file & closed it. rebooted...Installed the GWX102Cfg4SH3Cmdr.zip which I unzipped directly into the existing commander cfg file...

Things seem to operate o.k., but I haven't really played with it yet..

I do know that the colors of Brown Water & sky at certain times of evening & that pitch black sky with white clouds & water must be part of the mod itself because my ati X1900XT is beautiful in everything else, and my drivers are just fine... do not need to screw with ati's drivers!

Now, if this isn't the procedure for doing this install, then I would love to hear just what is correct because I have no more ideas...lol..

yes! please send me the colors fix.. where exactly does it go?

Also, are there any of those mods in commander that I shouldn't do? Ones that may have caused problems or aren't worth fooling with?

I do know from past experience that the more mods you run the more problems that you will have...
