My advice, back off of all the MODs but GWX 3.0. When you installed it, did you enable all the sub-mods that came with GWX? In other words all the cool add-on mods it also brings with? When you get "Menu ID not found" errors, there's a mod or two you have that are not happy working together has been my experience.

Start with a bare bones list of mods, add 'em one at a time. When the Menu ID error occurs, you'll know which one to exclude.

Take baby steps by adding on mods add-in's one at a time, start the game, see what happens. Figure out which one brings the conflict instead of just jumping into the game.

I too, am Vista based. Only way I know how to solve the problem - one baby step at a time.

There is a lot of SMART people here ... be patient ... someone will have the answer smarter than me.

No insult to you, but have you tried at least playing SH3 without GWX install?

If Monica's advice doesn't fix it, it could be a corrupt download of GWX ( not uncommon with a download file of GWX 3 size).

thx for answering ive installed firstly sh3 wich i tried running and it worked fine i didn't had any other mods installed ( i have installed patch 1.4 too )but i did enable all the mods that came with gwx in one go so i think that i will try to reinstall sh3 and do it step by step as you suggested hopfully it will work then will keep you informed. ive downloaded the gwx gold from Jimbuna's GWX3 GOLD torrent file of the gwx main site

Welcome aboard stuka88

Ensure you have deleted the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs.....uninstall SH3 using the option on the game disc...run a registry clean...then follow the installation instructions very carefull on the GWX website (click on my sig).

MOST IMPORTANTLY...GWX should only be installed on a fresh install of SH3

Just wanted to add that you should read the GWX manual, specifically the sections on the mods that were included with GWX for instructions on how & when to enable them.

Hope this helps...
