When you re-install so it should be done with the disc, which I guessed that you have made,Patches and you have the right? you have deleted in my doc, also

I can see where this could be aggravating. Your PC should run SH3 very well so that is ruled out, I would normally recommend a reinstall but since you've already done that I guess it would just waste your time. Try it with commander, i don't know if it will change anything but I have had similar problems but with just GWX3 and for whatever reason installing commander seemed to solve that problem.

Have you updated the drivers for your video card, and what settings have you got there? Since you say that the picture "freezes"

Do you have a widescreen resolution monitor? Try forcing the desktop resolution to 1024x768 and try again.

Please define how bad 'terrible' is?

Since you have a Nvidia (GeForce) card you should have the option to let the driver scale the image up to maximum native resolution. Right-click on the desktop, there should be "Nvidia Control Panel" halve way up the list. Click it. Then in the tree-list on the left under "Display/Adjust desktop size and position". At 2. choose one of the top 3 options for scaling. If that is set then you should be able to set the resolution back to what you had. If you use the setting with fixed aspect ratio then circular objects remain circular instead of ellipses. But there are very few non-widescreen resolutions that do not conform to the 4:3 ratio, or simply look very similar, so it might not be necessary.
