One thing with vista 64 and mods, when you use jsgme vista may create compatibility files in a separate folder. If you have problems switching mods you will need to delete these then the mods will function correctly again. You can click on the tab in sh4 folder or open it in your appdata/virtualstore/"your install location here"/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific folder.

I'm running Vista 64 as well, and have not encountered any problems with SH3, SH4, or JSGME.

Same here for SH4 and JSGME.

In some installs it may do this. I think the previous version of JSGME could cause this... The newest version may not. If you look closely a lot of games cause this and they run just fine. It is because they are made to run on multiple versions of windows. I have had problems with mods uninstalling because of this. Easy to fix though.

Wish I'd checked this thread before I decided to reinstall.

Running SH4 with TMO 1.7 on Vista 32 bits. Never had a problem. Only had to put two files dsound.ini and dsound.dll (X-FI files from Creative Alchemy made for Creative sound card) in the program directory to get 5.1 sound AND install directx 9.0c from Microsoft. The game runs like
