It was your thread in the first place. You get to do what you want with it.

But i did get it to work. I was bored at work yesterday and decided to instal it again. What a PITA.

Yes it can be, but it's good to hear it's working for you. My current computer won't even run it with all the mods I want.

Now I just have to instal this Grew Wolves mod and see how it is. Everyone seems to love it. But there are like 8 files and no instructions. :/

Put all eight files in the same folder and double-click the .exe. It will do the rest.

And it's great. Once you play with it little bit the next recommendation is SH3 Commander. It's equally easy to install and use, and also does amazing things. It's not really a mod, so there are no compatability problems.

Haha thanks. I always liked Silent Hunter 3, but always found the career mode a little confusing. Debating on picking up 4 or 5, just for the graphics increase.

Just curious, why won't your current computer let you run it?
