Okay...an Update:
After many attempts at cleaning registry, uninstalling SH4, reinstalling from DVD, I finally got a Working Install of the basic SH4 1.0 Why it took so many tries is beyond me! Computers aren't supposed to act that way....I swear I followed the exact same steps each and every time! A fine Sunday totally wasted!
I then downloaded and installed patch 1.4 It installed with no problems and SH4 vs 1.4 runs okay.
Tomorrow AM I will install the 1.5 Add-On...with fingers crossed. If all goes to hell in a handbasket again, I'll definitely know it is the 1.5 Addon which is at fault. If the Addon works, I'll load all my MANY Mods and Single Missions from my backup folders and be back in Operation...UBoat or Fleet Boat.
IF 1.5 Addon works, I will not risk using the "MultiSh4" application, at this time...even though it would logically not seem to have been the cause of my problem.
Friggin' Computers...like women: Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!
