I can tell you how I did this. Install the game, -make a couple new folders and name them GWX 2.1 and GWX 3.0.

Copy everythibg from your your original SH3 folder to each new folder.

Run GWX 2.1/3.0 on these new folders.

You should now have 3 working Sh3 clients, one vanilla, one GWX 2.1 and one GWX 3.0.

And scrap that Vista crap.

I always do as Balle Klorin posted
Install game and patch then copy folder as many times as I need

The good news is that i have GWX3 running on my laptop and a very reasonable speed. Currently 8.9.39 and sneaking in Blyth at dusk. Just trying it out. So ill be SH3ing on my laptop and my refrain from reformatting the PC until i get a decent sized external HDD.

Hell yeah, I forgot that one. A "must have" I would say

And to the OP, you have a laptop so why worry about external HDD. You allready have it. Just hook up the laptop and transfer whatever you like.

And this time remember to partition your drive before installing a new OS. The system drive for XP doesn't need much space, 10gb is fine, and you can use the rest for backup and game install. Installing games on C:\Programfiles\, ... is baaaad
