What can I do? |
Here I am to save the day! It's your Lucky Day, Mate!
I had the same exact problem beginnning the day of the 1.4 release. It took me 8 days to work through a hundred possible solutions and re-installs and uninstalls and total frustration and following LOTS of advice on these forums...to no avail.
Anyway, here's what you do...guaranteed (Well, I can't really say that...take your risk, of course):
1. On your C"\ drive, delete manually all your SH4 folders and files,
including the SH4 folder in your Desktop\Documents folder.
[[Needless to say, before you delete your SH4 files, backup any of your stuff like MOD folders/files...Sound\Gramaphone files/music, etc. You can then simply place those back into your SH4 once you are up and running again after a fresh install]] Personally, I also deleted all JSGME folders/files at the same time.
2. Backup a copy of your "regedit" file (located in your C:\windows\ root directory.
3. Then, Run regedit.exe [Note: If the registry "Cleaning" APP's recommended by LuckyMother above work, you won't need to do the following of course. But this is what is going on behind the scenes, and I wasn't comfortable
trusting the CCleaner App...so
I did it manually as described below:]
In the Registry, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall{{0D005F09-A5F4-473B-A901-5735C6AF5628} key.
Delete that file/folder highlighted in blue below(along with all its sub-files) Disregard my red hilites...those were for another subject:
4. You can also, in addition, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft and delete all the folder(s) shown below...you will have one or two or, (as in my case, shown below), three. These don't seem to have any direct effect, but you can do without them. I'd say get rid of them. I did.
5. Exit/close Regedit.
6. Re-boot your 'Puter.
7. Install SH4 1.0 from your DVD.
I'd reboot again just for the heck of it.
8. Download and install the Patch 1.4.
9. Reboot the PC.
10. Download/reinstall JSGME. Do the setup, being sure to include taking the "Snapshot" of your clean install.
11. Copy over all your backed up Mod folders into the Silent Hunter\MODS folder.
12. Decide which MODs you want to enable and do so via JSGME. Caution: be certain of 1.4 compatibility of any Mod...Follow the approriate threads on those matters here in the forums. I have no idea about the status of TM compatibility issues.
Good Luck
