Silent Hunter 3 Problem!

I've been searching everywhere for a solution to this problem but so far nothing. The problem is after closing the game I get a blue screen. Then the next day or whenever the game opens up in windowed mode with no sound. A new career has been created called "player". My career is still there though. When I load up any of the gameplay modes ie my career or single mission the game starts paused and it cannot be unpaused. The only solution I have found so far is a complete clean reinstall (Uninstalled, manually deleted file fragments left behind, cleaned registry and deleted the contents of the install shield and temp folders). I acheived this last night and this morning the problem has occured again after 1 patrol. I would really like to get beyond mid-1941 as the game really hots up then but thats as far as I have got before the career is either corrupted or I get this problem.

My Computer
Windows XP SP3 (Fully Updated)
Silent Hunter III v1.6 (unofficial patch) with GWX Gold v3.0
Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz x 2 (Dual Core)
2Gb of PNY RAM
1Gb Nvidia Geforce 210 GPU

A reason why this happens or the file(s) thought to be involved would also be helpful as I might be able to rescue it without a full re-install.
