I think there is a way but i dont have a clue lmao. Sorry im no help  Does silent hunter run in dos or something? If so you need a dos emulator. Do a search on google. I tried to get Aces of the deep working which was a dos game and had no luck so i wouldnt hold too much hope !! |

Well Martin, first the good news : There IS a way. Now the not so good news : 1) It's long winded and complicated.  2) The method has been tried on XP service pack 1, but I don't know if it will work with Service pack 2. 3) You have to ask yourself if it really is going to be worth all the trouble.  You can find the solution at either of these two links: www.subsowespac.org/sh_xp/silent_hunterxp.shtmlwww.battlebelow.com/shswinxp.htmI wish you the best of luck Regards BlitzPig Rivet Patrol #21 (June '42) - Same Crew - Upgraded to type VIIC.

You're welcome Martin . However, after having another look, it seems to me that service pack 1 may be a minimum requirement for the solution to work. I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work with SP2, but there again I haven't tried it so obviously I can't comment further. Once you get to the follow the pictures section, it doesn't seem too bad to follow (a picture speaks a thousand words  ). One word of caution though - If you are going to try this, I'd recommend making a system restore point before you start so that if it does go all pear shaped you can always go back to your original system state.
