I just did an internet search on the GWX mod, and it sounds as if it really enhances the gameplay. I have a couple questions about this mod.
1) Do you actually have to uninstall Silent Hunter III, and then reinstall it again to the 1.4b patch?
2) The links I've noticed say UK, I'm assuming that this works correctly with the US installation.
3) Does the GWX put you through a completely different campaign than the original install?

Don't kow why, but it worked everytime.

That is very interesting about having to go back slow, and then going forward. I'll have to see if this happens to me as well.

Welcome aboard Paulverizor. Hope the suggestions above have taken care of the problem

It appears that the issue I was running into was some type of bug in the game.

The strange thing is that I ran into the situation where I couldn't restart my U-boat 5 games straight. I played the game yesterday and except for once my boat started every time. The one time that it didn't start yesterday I inadvertantly hit the dive button and that seemed to free things up after I resurfaced, because my U-boat picked up it's course.

Today I was able to duplicate the problem I had earlier. I did drag every possible crew member into the Diesel Room and nothing happened. (That did bring the room to 2/3 of the green bar).

As suggested I backed my sub up, and hit the forward engine and it worked fine. It appears that there is a bug causing the issue, but it is pretty easy to work around.

Thank you everyone for your help!
