Now it is saying abandon career again even after the registry & a whole new install of the game

The game installs the career data in your My Documents folder. I understand you even reinstalled Windows, could it be that the My Documents folder is on another computer or a usb disk or something so it is not deleted during the reinstall of Windows?

Delete the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs folder Mike

Did that reinstalled everything & it worked 1 time but the next time I did time compression & it stated abandon career after save was successful.Getting very frustrated not being able to play the game.

Post some screen shots.

Does it only do it after TC, or after a saved game?

Just for something stupid you are overlooking (ie the machine not being plugged in etc) that is causing you to die.

This isnt a CTD, its a death. There's got to be some mechanism. What's your depth. What TC did you die at? Where are you? Near shore? Minefield? Is it always the same game? Start a new career and see if it does it again. It could just be that ONE save. Try loading an earlier save.
