Thanks for the reply! I had been installing in c\program files (x86) - where should I install it? I have a CD titled "Silent hunter Commander Edition" dated 2002, for Win95/98/Me. Not sure what version it is past that.

Also, I see the term "Steam" - what does that mean? Sorry if that's a dumb question.

When I install the program I install it as an Administrator.

I really appreciate the help!

Hi Larry

First of all, Silent Hunter; The Commander's Edition is SH1. It's a DOS game and needs some special software to run under Win 10. You want Silent Hunter 4: The Gold Edition. This is v1.5 and the latest version. v1.5 is the version that all current mods are made for.

As for Steam, it is an online company that sells tons of games for PC. You pay a price and you can download the game to your PC and play.

Installation of SH4: GE is installed by default to C:/ProgramFiles(x86). It can be installed anywhere else on your c: drive or any other HD you might have on your computer. You can name your install any thing you want such C:SH4 if you want. Just remember where you install it.

If you need to purchase a copy of SH4: The Gold Edition you can find it here. just scroll down the page a little bit.
