When you uninstall, be sure to go to where the game was installed and delete all the leftover files there before you reinstall. SHIII leaves a few files behind when it uninstalls itself, one of them being the en-menu file. I understood what you asked perfectly urmama.

WELCOME ABOARD!

He's right. If you're doing a re-install you need to uninstall using the game disc, completely remove the SH3 folder from both the Ubisoft folder in Program Files and the one from My Documents. Leftover files can get you every time.
