need help with clean installation (vista)

Flakmonkey, you were kinda close with your "hidden" assumption. The GWX files kept returning because Vista knows best and stored them to a VirtualStore folder outside of SH3 rather than in SH3. Even though you now have a copy installed outside of the Program Files folder, this VirtualStore folder will still exist on your hard drive with these files. I've posted the full path to the folder in various other threads. Find the folder and delete it. It won't cause problems for you now, but when you forget in six months time...
