Not for the 1st time with this sort of stuff, I'm going round in f' circles.
I've uninstalled & re-installed SH3. I did have the 1.4 patch, but not sure I was utilising it. So in order to dowload the correct one I started the game to get to the main menu to check which version I have.....
I've still got the GWX 3.0 expansion pack (programme?) & it's taking over. It's not doing anything, not launching the game, but I don't know how to get rid of it....

Skiffy please. (off to bed now though)

Divvun get vexed, we will sort this out.

If you are unsure whether it is patched you should not have the GWX mod installed....either that or you have not uninstalled as per my previous post.

What OS do you have? (please say XP or XP Pro).

List each operation/action you have performed thus far.

Gulp!.....well I guess I had the patch working because I had been using the GWX 3.0 with the expansion pack.

The problem was the hard drive failed. Ended up only 15% healthy.

I uninstalled SH3. Used the above-recommended registry cleaner. The jsgme enabler is still left, but all the mods have been deleted by the processes used.
Re-installed SH3.
Wanted to download 1.4b patch, needed to know type, tried to start SH3 to get to game menu to identify my version.......

but the Expansion Pack screen appears, loads-up until the red "time bar?" finishes......& nothing else happens.

Is the above intelligible?

Not entirely I'm afraid....sorry.

Start again....use the disc to uninstall then delete the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs. Check with add/remove programmes utility on your pc.

Carry on with reg clean etc. etc.

I don't understand....the JSGME is an integral part of GWX, are you installing it a second time? If so....don't....delete EVERYTHING before attempting an install.

You still haven't advised what your OS is.
