Thanks, Graf Paper. S-I-G-H...you speak of mods...I am in the middle of reinstalling everything. I was trying to use the Thomsens_Depth_Gauge mod and also the Seabed_Repair_Mod...and may have gotten a bit impatient by adding both at the same time? I know, I know...what was I thinking?

Anywho...either one of them is not compatible with SH3/GWX2.1...or I "fat fingered" something. I could not get SH3 to load after that. Tried disabling the above mods...no joy. So...I've reinstalled, remodded (without the above mentioned) and am sitting here praying that it will run when I fnish writing this.
