in other words your path to your SH3 folder should look like this---> c:/Ubisoft/SH3

however... i recommend naming the entire directory something unrelated to SH3 like "Kriegsmarine"

so go to your C: and create a folder called "Kriegsmarine" or "DasBoot" or "GWX" or whatever

install SH3 to this new c:/DasBoot folder you have created and see if it works

i not... i have other suggestions

EDIT: dont forget to patch to 1.4b and all that

I am OK now but i must admit it took me so much time also to remove all the files to get the old SH3 off my computer and i run XP Home. It was driving me NUTS. Now you have posted about if i cant remove it, i feel such a fool as the obvious was staring at me all the time

dont feel stupid...

do you have any idea how much trial and error and trouble shooting and asking on these forums it took me before a solution was made available?



it happens to the best of us my friend
