0x31020001) Never had this warning before SH4 was running fine til I loaded 1.4

Would anyone Please help.

Had similar problems.

Did JSGME unmod. Patched. Had crashes and loading errors. would not let me uninstall or reinstall. I musta manually edited something or other and forgot about it.

I manually deleted all the SH4 files and ran a registry cleaner.

Good freebee here: http://www.ccleaner.com/

Then it allowed me to reinstall.

Patched, no problems.

Very happy to read this post. It makes me think I am finally heading in the right direction. I am willing to try your approach... and gald to see also that you have Vista32, as do I. Am I correct in assuming the free registry cleaner is risk-free, so to speak? I get sweaty palms and nervous twitches at even the though of personally/manually screwing around with the registry.

Also, when you say manually delete SH4 files, you mean just delete them, send them to the recycle bin and then away permanently, right? It's been my understanding never to do that to remove a program/application because you can leave troublesome remnants of stuff on the PC, specifically in the registry I suppose.

I guess I am looking for a reassuring, "Go Ahead, son...not to worry" encouragement.

For what it is worth, here's my story that I was about to post in one or more threads on the Forums,looking for help. Does it seem to describe your situation/experience as well...especially regarding the installation/uninstall/reinstallation problem?:

"I have a long excruciatingly detailed explanation of the mistakes I made, and involving several install/reinstall/patching cycles, but at this point maybe just the short version and the current situation will suffice:
Somehow, my SH4 and 'SH4 patched to 1.4' got all messed up. Initially I installed 1.4 without first disenabling the Mods. I learned from the forums that was wrong, so I started trying to do it right..without ever checking to see if 1.4 was actually working. I also simultaneously tried to change the install from C drive to D drive, then back to C drive where it is now. Two days later, the symptoms now are that when I start SH4 it does say it is v1.4 on the screen, it shows the intro logo and movie...it also gives me the main menu. I can set Options...and they do appear in the cfg files in the "Documents/SH4" folder. But, when I select a mission (a training one for simplicity)I see the loading screen working, but it then immediately locks up and goes black and I get a "SH4 has stopped" notice.

In a nutshell, it is a total mess...but it's gotten worse: When I now try to Uninstall SH4 thru Windows Control Panel, I get a screen which says "...cannot run setup.exe"
When I try to Uninstall or Re-install SH4 using the original DVD, I get a message saying that I need to Uninstall version 1.4 first before the DVD will install SH4 version 1.0. The DVD doesn't even offer me an option to "Uninstall" SH4 (whatever the version) It's a Catch22, to say the least.
Along the way I did a System Restore, but that didn't help.

I'm pretty sure that I may now have a badly corrupted Registry for Silent Hunter,which might explain the problem with Control Panel and Orig DVD failing to Uninstall SH4. I don't really want to go into the registry because it is so dangerous, but would do it if I only have to delete certain specifically identified silent hunter entries. In layman's terms, I basically think I need to somehow erase all evidence of SH4 on my PC, however that can be done, then start from scratch with the original DVD.


Any expert ideas/help will be greatly appreciated....

Thanks to the Devs for the 1.4 patch. Its been a long time comming, and from what I've heard here, worth the wait.

I've downloaded the patch, but I'm going to wait for awhile before I patch the sim, though, for two reasons:

1. I'm going to finish out the war for once. Its Oct. '44, so I will only do two or three more patrols to really sail through the war.

2. Two or three weeks to finish out the war will give the modders a chance to adjust their mods for compatability. I'm sure I'll miss Trigger Maru if I have to do without it. Thanx Ducimus. I also want to be sure that Tater's Campaign Layers will still work. Kudos for you, too. And to all the others that have done such wonderful work on this sim, Thanx!

Now, if only someone would get the spelling of Bourganville right, I'll be just happy, happy, joy, joy!

I"ll keep a weather eye on these forums for any helpful hints.

about the ramming DD,s i run the convoy mission in the sub school
and let the dds ram me
it damaged all my sistems
and the dd took no damage atleast gave no indications of taking damage
they usually used to damage themselves when they did that in 1.3
so something out there has been fixed

be sure you removed all files
sometimes when you uninstall you still have some left over files from addons
(atleast ive noticed that)
maybe making sure you delete those will give you a real clean install

Damage taken by hulls submarine is shown in the damage interface?
what is that supposed to do i havent noticed anything different
can somone point me to it
