I deleted all related SH3 folders in My Documents.

I will try again.

EDIT:

Same result. Am i supposed to let the Gameshadow Install finish? Can i get detailed Step-by-step instructions on how to do this? It has been awhile since i did this.

Unfortunately, uninstalling software on a Win machine leaves more in the registry than even the KGB could cope with. Perhaps try something like RevoUninstaller and choose the Bring On The Brooms & Hoses It's Spring Cleaning option. You'll be dizzy seeing how much garbage the stock uninstallers leave.

I'll try it.

Cleaning the registry should do the trick. No need to install Gameshadow. If nothing else helps, reinstalling the whole Windows should take care of the problem. But there should be no need for that either, it's most likely registry problems.. Hope you get it sorted out.

SH3 doesnt show up in the All Programs part of Revo

Unless you are extremely intimate with the registry, I strongly suggest NOT messing with it manually. If you mess it up then your pc will likely die in a cataclysmic explosion, entire countries will vanish and Celine Dion will be on every radio station 24/7 so don't go there.

What you CAN do, as long as you resist any urge to edit, delete or spray happy faces all across the reg entries, is to run regedit.exe. Go to Start and hit "Run...", type regedit.exe and once there go to the tool bar and Edit, then Find.

In the box that appears, type any plausible search words like sh3, silent hunter etc etc, and see if anything shows up. Anything will show up but it will be nice to know.

There are reg cleaning programs, iirc CrapCleaner is one that is free, another one with reg cleaning tools is AShampoo but that is not free. Been ages since I messed with any of that so do a google search for any good reg cleaners.

The Tunngle Sh3 data popped up

Nothing for the actual SH3.

marioh99 · 08-06-12, 11:25 PM

did you have mods installed before you uninstalled SH3?
did you uninstall the mods first, and then SH3?

edit: also, are you sure you're running the correct patch for your particular installation?
