This is a horrible mess! I believe it is due to the "MultiSH4" application...which caused the first Glitch today.... I've deleted that application, I thought....but it's been a total mess since then...with or without any Addon or patch. I can't even get the game to Play straight from the original DVD.
I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers, 169.28 even though my 169.25 drivers had been working just fine since installing them months ago. All other Games/Sims on my puter are running just fine.

Any help out there? For starters, I need to get rid of any vestiges of this MultiSH4 application. Ohh, P.S. I've also used Windows "Restore " option to restore my Computer to a time before I started messsing with MultiSH4 and the 1.5 Addon. Didn't help.[/quote]
So you've done a complete uninstall? I would roll back the Nvidia driver to the one you know works and go with a fresh SH4 install. Patch it to 1.4 and see what you get. If nothing else has changed you should be playing the game. If it doesn't work then you have a codec problem unrelated to MultiSH4.
MultiSH4 does only one thing: it patches SH4 so it uses a different user directory than the default <whatever>\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific. That way you have a different user configuration for each install. You should probably copy all your configuration data from the original directory to the new ones so SH4 has some configuration to find when you start it from one of the new directories.
But I feel your pain. I HATE it when computers get all persnickedy over little stuff. Best of luck bird-dogging the problem down and please let us know what you found when you fix it.
