Default Major technical SNAFUS with new GWX 3 install...

Hello all,

First of all, forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong place...

It's been a while since I've been on the forums, but it's good to be back.

I just discovered GWX 3 and I was very excited to download it and try it since I recently upgraded my computer. I stopped playing SH3 about a year ago because my hardware wasn't quite up to it, but since getting more RAM I was eager to try it again.

I installed GWX 3 over a clean, upgraded install of SH3 v1.4b. I started playing and it was great...just like old times. Then...about 10 minutes in...I got the infamous Blue Screen Of Death. Ouch. Thinking it was a fluke, I rebooted and tried again. Same deal. I've discovered that the problem is likely due to my video driver (ATI Radeon Mobile x300) and I'm looking into how I can fix this. In the meantime, I wanted to try to uninstall everything and try the game out on the earlier GWX 2. The problem is that I can't seem to completely uninstall GWX 3, and thus I can't upgrade the basic SH3 to v1.4b because it's already been modified. There doesn't seem to be an uninstall program included with GWX 3, and when I uninstall SH3 and then reinstall it, the directories are full of GWX 3 stuff...which means it never really left.

1.) Does anybody know how to definitively wipe out GWX 3 to start over?

2.) Can I still get GWX 2.1 somewhere?

3.) Has anybody else already had this problem and fixed it (BSOD in GWX 3?)

Thanks friends.
