As I said, three installs didn't help. I had been using SH3CMDR but not on those last two tries.

I do admit that I didn't actually delete files, just used the 'repair' and patch routine. There may have been some bad old stuff left behind.

Thanks guys, the captain is back on the bridge. Just because the diesels won't start, the batteries are exhausted, and the food has gone bad - no reason to abandon ship. We shall overcome.

I will report back if the radio still works.

Bye bye! Good luck in the Pacific

ALL HANDS...PAY ATTENTION!

JSGME mod enabler will not, repeat WILL NOT remove the latest GWX from the game.

I had removed all mods with the enabler some weeks back, and thought I had a mod free version. Even though I did a complete uninstall of the game, even deleting the folders, when I installed the disk today to install my option to repair or remove was offered.

I chose remove and saw a large number of files being removed, from where I do not know. I checked and the SH3 folders were not present. Where it found those files I do not know, but suspect GWX had them somewhere.

Following this ghost removal, I reinstalled SH3 and had the sound back.

I checked my program list in control panel/Add Remove but did not see any GWX references, so I think I know what happened.

I uninstalled GWX incorrectly. Question is, where did they put all those files???

I shall restart my career, this time totally without Grey Wolves mod.:hmm:

Funny. I haven't played SH3 for about 3 months now and am itching to get back on patrol.

The GWX files will more than likely have been installed to C:ProgramFiles but based within the SH3 files.
In future you might want to use the game disc to perform the uninstall operation

You may be back....I did not like Sh4 nearly as much as I did SH3. For one, it beats the crap out of my computer to run it
