Commander Error! Game trouble

Hey got a major issue with the game and before I think to be forced to reinstall from scratch; to run this by the board.

Commander fires up but in the screen adjacent to U-Boat # is - Type Error!
Also under that Flotilla: Error! Error!

Both current carrers same deal, as well as trying to start a new carrer. Game won't start with sh3 default Icon either, all carrers at homeport.

here's a screen

Any thoughts or should I finish a six-pack and tackle this tomorrow?

Are you using multi-SH3? Only thought that comes to mind is that the files have been moved, deleted or corrupted somehow. Hate to say it but finish the six pack and get your disk out for a re-install.

Do not recommend you continue with the six-pack and fiddle about with it, that would be asking for trouble !

Next day = Jeesh, what have I done ?

Did you edit any of the files in your SH3 installation (i.e. add mods while at sea, not rolledback Commander etc) ?

Have the six pack, while re-installing. Only confusing thing for me was getting my MODs back installed because I misplaced the GWX bins.

The only recent change was adding SH4 effects for SH3, but that was 2 patrols ago before this occured.
Not using SH3 Multi, but as it is looking like a reinstall is nessesary I have been meaning to try that to run different Mods.

Fried something no doubt, like getting a flat tire. Why did that happen - dunno it just did.
