You can copy the whole game folder itself (such as the "Silent Hunter 3" folder) that might be in "C:\Program Files (x86) \Ubisoft \...", and then paste that "Silent Hunter 3" folder into a folder you created, such as "C:\Games". That will prevent Windows from interfering with you modding the game. You might want to create a short-cut to the new location.
Also, right-click on the SH3.exe file in your new folder, and choose "Properties" from the context menu. Click on the "Compatibility" tab, and under the top "Compatibility mode" section, tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" if that choice is available, or as "old" of a Windows as you can choose (except Win95 or Win98, of course). Under the "Settings" section on that same tab, try ticking the "Disable fullscreen optimizations". You might also have to try "Run this program as an administrator". Those two depend upon how your computer is set-up. You will almost always have to click on the "Change high DPI settings" button, and then at the bottom of its little window, tick the "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and be sure "Application" is chosen there. "OK" your way out. With SH3, the #1 and #4 choices are almost mandatory, and the #2 & #3 choices depend upon your graphics card and computer respectively - and this is all after you defeat Starfarce that Jeff pointed you to, if your "fix" didn't do that.

I did go trough all your steps and reinstaled it in a different folder. I made some progress the game starts now and i can chose a single player mission but i still cant load fully into the game sadly. It loads to 100% again and then the game closes
Eddit: it works now the ARB widegui mod somehow doesnt work on my side but the game itselve works now ^^
Thanks for the help so far from both of you
