Did you first install your SH4 Gold with the projector attached? Or maybe set the SH4 to a setting that worked with the projector? When un-installing SH4 in order to do a re-install, some files and registry settings are left behind, and that might be influencing the game. While you are plugged into the projector, see if you can access Options / Graphics Settings and change the Game Resolution settings back to something that works for sure for certain with your regular display, like 1024x768, 4:3, 60Hz.

It might be also, that Windows, in its continuing effort to help the user, is "seeing" that you're going to play Silent Hunter, and since you played it on the projector two months ago, it "automatically" is attempting to access the projector again, which is back at work 20 miles away, just for you... tic - though I'd try to change the game settings first.

If you want to try, look at How To Re-Install SH4.... Some of the measures are "drastic" in some circles, but... it does get rid of all signs of Ubisoft from the computer. Read the warnings and heed them. Have a restore disk, do a restore point and back-up the registry before delving into the deep of that... Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to ask someone else's advice on here, concerning that aspect, prior to doing anything along those lines.

If you do another re-install, don't do it while connected to a projector, or first starting SH4 up. It uses its "start" to determine your system's capabilities... |;^)
