I copied SH3 to a different hard drive, uninstalled SH3 Commander, and reinstalled to the same hard drive, and reset JSGME icon to target the new drive, and then disabled all mods. Then I tried to run SH3 one time per Commander instructions, and it starts to load but I get the error "failed to start because drawlib.dll was not found. I tried loading all the .dlls in system 32, but when I got to "binkw32.dll" the error said it was in the wrong place. Yikes!
I am trying not to reinstall because it was a real hassle last time moding the program to update to v.1.4 and then no disk.

If you go to the SHIII folder on your new hard drive, can you launch SHIII from there by clicking on the SHIII icon (I.e., the exe file)?

Whenever I move a game, I just copy it's main folder into a directory I make and change my shortcuts in my game shortcut folder.

I think your best bet would be to uninstall SHIII, purchase a new game disk (about $10) which is star force free and patched to 1.4b, and reinstall SH3 and GWX onto the new drive. Save the "mod" folder and just copy that into your install. The game should start if the connection is fast enough. As noted above, you will need the GWX/CMDR files installed for CMDR to be used. Or you could move some other files to your secondary hard drive to create space.

Success
I finally got it to work by restoring a backup of the file before I had added sh3 v. 5.1. I have it installed on my E: drive (which is a large internal drive), and deleted from my C: drive giving me 17.8 GB of free space.
Now maybe I will reinstall 5.1????
