You're really testing my memory but as I recall you do not need to install the Hi Res because running it through Projekt Messerwetzer lets it run Hi Res.....

This is the 3rd graphics card I am using - the first two were ATI. As I said, this one is NVIDIA and I haven't changed any of SH II PA's graphics settings since the first ATI card. I'm full screen and on an oddball screen setting larger than 1024x768.

This is what I did:

1. Clean Install of SH2, and rename the folder to 'Pacific Aces' or whatever name you prefer.
2. Install the official SH2 Patch 1.1
3. Install Vicker's mods if you want
4. Install Projekt Messerwetzer also helps to avoid some Janus errors
5. Install PA 1.0, pointing to your 'Pacific Aces' folder.
6. Install PA patch 1.1
7. Install new PA Sound 1.1
8. Install Glitche fix patch that includes optional dive bubble for Projekt Messerwetzer
9. Lethal radius mod (used 5 DepthChargeJP*.ADF files)
10. Active sonar hack ... edited the 10 SonarActive, SonaractiveUS, SonaractiveJapan, etc... files.

I didn't change any compatibility sub-menues, just running it straight through Windows XP Pro like you have (I think).

I really am happy it runs because I still enjoy doing a few patrols, just like I still enjoy SHCE to this day for variety even though I have SH4.

The PA team worked hard to make it and they did a great job.

Happy Hunting!
