re-install issues

[Joe S]

It has been suggested that I re-install SHIV and upgrade to patch 1.3 as a possible solution to desktop crashes. I have a few mods, the nav map 360 deg mod, a few keystroke mods, and some sound mods. I assume I can backup my current config file and sound files to get back to the sounds and keystroks I want, as far as the map mods are concerned, does the mod enabler work with the 1.3 patch, and can I save my current career and the one custom mission that I manages to creats,( I finally suceeded in eliminating the escorts from the Borneo convoy mission, to use it as a manual TDC training mission, I have no idea how I did it and went through a lot of time and trouble to do it.) Thanks! Joe S
