Default No Dials in Conning Tower!

hello, after installing the new patch, my gato and gar class subs (the ones i use the most) have no dials in the conning tower. i uninstalled, and reinstalled, then applied the patch, and the same problem still exists. can someone tell me how to clean out SH4 in the registry or what do i have to do to erase all traces of SH4 to try to get my conning tower dials back in my gato.

please help.

thanks,

Factor.

Are you loading a saved game when you do all of this? Or starting a new one from scratch? If your loading a saved game, funky behavior of this type is to be expected. Always return to port before applying a patch or mod. Never do either while at sea.

i installed a fresh install of game, patched up to 1.4, and still the same, no dial in my conning tower. just black circles. i even tried d/l a new patch from another site. nothing is working. i create a new carrer each time. same thing happens in the single missions and war patrols. the dials are there w/ the 1.3 patch. just not in the latest. how do i erase totally any trace of SH4 on my computer besides just uninstalling.

could i install anew game patched to 1.3 and copy files over. what files would i need to copy over from 1.3 to get my dials back. this is driving me nuts. i do not understand why when i have uninstalled/reinstalled this game six times today, erased all save games, my dials are just black circles in the conning tower after applying the new patch when they are fine w/ 1.3. i have d/l the patch from three diffrent places as of now .

FWIW, I have dials in the two or three different subs I checked via Quick Missions.
