Rather specify your own folder, such as "C:\Games\Silent Hunter\....." for example. The reason for this is in Vista, the Program Files folder is 'special' and very different from how it was in XP. Vista protects this folder, which means when you add things into the games in this folder, Vista does funny things with the files, actually placing these other files into special hidden folders, which is why JSGME cannot create the MODS folder, and your mods won't appear there, nor will your mods apply properly into the game.

So if possible and if you haven't done so, I advise uninstalling your game and reinstalling it, but customise the installation to a different location. This extra bit of work will save you issues in the long term as you use more and more mods.

I actually thought there was another thread that gave instructions similar to what I just said above but I didn't find it.

Thanks. I will reinstall and follow these excellent instructions. You guys are great at helping a shipmate out. Thanks again...
