Upgraded to Win 7...

It was a complete new install of Win 7, I had saved a lot from the "C" drive to an external HD so maybe it is there. I will break out the external HD and see if I can find it. I'll get back to you.

I found the SHIII folder, now do I just put it in my documents?

That should do the trick.

Good news! I got my old patrol back but noww I have a black border on both sides of the screen like I'm in windowed mode. I have checked in the options that I have full screen ticked, and it is. Is there a wide screen setting somewhere that I need to address?

The game is a 4:3 resolution, but you probably have a widescreen. If you want the screen to be stretched across the black borders on the screen then things will get to look squished and flat. Is that really what you want?

Your graphics card drivers probably have a configuration panel where you can set this scaling.

There is a widescreen mod for SH3, but it doesn't really change the fact that the game only expects a 1024x768 GUI. And I never really used it, so I'll shut up now.

This mod (MAGUI) does provide a changed GUI layout specifically for widescreen ratios. But you need to use the apporpriate sub-mod for the exact resolution that you use:
