Steam install location and edit cfg files?

Yeah UAC does suck

Just disable the JSGME mods for now

There are a few others on here playing with Steam that seem to be ok - dont use Steam myself so not 100% sure whats going on there

Those above may be of some help

I tried it by just deactivating the mods through JSGME, but still no joy. So I've uninstalled SH3, and SH3 Commander, downloaded a registry cleaner(hopefully it's a good one), and will install it all again fresh later once I've downloaded it again from steam. Damnit, I wish my disc worked with Windows 7!

For GWX, is there an Uninstall program, or do you just delete it from your SH3 directory?

No there is no uninstall for GWX

Once installed from Steam try relocating the SilentHunterIII folder to somewhere else
C:/Games or something

Before adding GWX

Will do.

Makes sure runs as stock ok once moved before you add GWX
Save yourself some grief

Yeah definitely, I don't want to download it a 5th time.

Dont have to DL mine but to save constant installs once installed I copy the data folder somewhere
Then if mess up just have to copy it over
Modding generally messes up your installs so have become accustomed to copying the data folder on a regular basis

Having 3 or 4 installs never helps either
