Of course I have no idea really what's going on with your problem.

The only time I've experience somethng similar it seemed to be related to saved careers. My suggestion would be to once again uninstall the lot, make sure there's no part of the SH3 folder left over. Then go into My Documents and move or delete the SH3 save folder you find in there. Reinstall, patch and see what happens. No guarantee it'll make a bit of difference but might be worth a shot.

Also make sure you have the correct 1.4b. The 'Download' version of 1.4b is for a game that was downloaded from one of the specialty sites. If you bought the game on a disc then you need the 'Disc' version of the patch. Also make sure you have the right 'US' or 'European' version.

yep SS is right, check the proper download. No, the registry key deletion will not affect the save game folder in My Documents.
