Well if you have any more problems, let us know. And Spike is right, just deleting them right there is bad for your PC. You need to uninstall the game, then delete what is left over unless it's a saved game (doesn't matter what game) you want. Then, type in regedit (what I do for Vista) in the startbar, or click run and type it in and then delete whichever folders are left and reinstall.

It's best, you have the Silent Hunter III 1.4b [Retail] if cd and [Digital] if you downloaded. http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.asp...wnload&dcId=63

I'm glad you got it working again, lets hope it stays that way!

How is deleting a few movies from your game to make it work bad for your computer? (Just wondering)

I think he was referring to the guy that said he doesn't use uninstallers, and just deletes files manually. It's bad because it leaves unused registry entries and possibly some additional files. Easy to clean up with your basic maintenance program such as Ccleaner, but ultimately, it's better to use the uninstaller first before removing any leftover files rather than the other way around.
