Default GWX stopped loading =(

This is damn peculiar. I just tried to start GWX and all I get is a black screen with the hour glass icon but the game won't load. I don't even get the GWX splash screen.

I've made no changes to my SHIII directory and I uninstalled all my mods but it still won't load. I even scanned my hard disk but no errors were found. Any ideas as to what's going on? I hope I don't have to nuke my directory and reinstall.

If you have to....install it like this

Delete any/all SH3 files from C\MyDocumentsInstall a clean version of SH3 in C\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3
Patch it to 1.4b
Copy the folder and paste it to whatever drive you want.

Rename the folder ‘GWX’.
Now install GWX

Now install GWX (v1.0 whatever)
Create a shortcut to the desktop..
Install the SH3Cmd 2.7 plus the SH3Cfg file
If your going to use multiple installs I’d suggest a separate install of SH3Cmdr for each plus an install of MultiSH3.
