HELP I always have too many sailors

ok thank for the suggestions, I have pretty much narrowed it down to my accidental rolling back of SH3cmdr before switching the my documents SH3 folder (one clue is that when I load up Gw, the bottom right corner says NYGM 2.0!). My GW install is now contaminated and the file integrity is down the toilet--did not use JSGME dammit. and I messed with many cfg files, and deleting careers etc..I just reinstalled everything, probably less effort than wading through tons of text and cfg files...--now I have GW1.1a with SH3 cmdr, and NYGM with no cmdr, since I am no good at using two sh3cmdrs. anyone else find it difficult to manage two installs with sh3xcmdr?

I have had this happen, seems to be some sort problem with multiple carreers, where the wrong one is loaded. Just reload the program go to barracks and check crew, dismiss the surplus ones as required.
I run 5 installs on the one Commander without problem but check that you are loading the correct carreer.
Cheers

5 installs!???! Do you use NYGM, because how do you deal with the new files which have to be installed to be compatible? Anyway, i had to reinstall twice because I did the same thing again...hehe punch me now.

Going to the barracks will fix the problem for the career games; but if I try to load a mission, I can't get to the barracks to dismiss the extra sailors.

Each install has a different file name Grey Wolves, IUB, RUB, Grey Wolves Carotio, Standard etc a Commander shortcut is allocated to each one (or a single one allocated to nothing allows you to select the variant you want) Doesnt seem to cause any problems. As for dismissing crew when you cant get to the office this has happened to me, I think I went back to a carreer, off to the office, sacked surplus crew and back to the mission, but the submarine type must be the same, cant explain what is going on here!
