What I do with Vista and I did this with XP. I extracted JSGME right to the main SH4 folder. Then, inside your main SH4 folder right click to make a new folder. Name it MODS. Extract any mods to this new MODS folder. Then use the JSGME icon within the SH4 folder to activate mods. Works for me. The reason I put all of JSGME inside my SH4 main folder, it keeps all my SH4 stuff there and I know were to find it.

What mods are you using? If it is a large mod pack like TMO/OM/RFB...you will notice a difference from stock right off the bat!

Well then, what does your opening of the game look and sound like? Is there a strange poem being read to you before the game loads? Is it the usual UBI logo and music playing when you load the game? If not, your mods are working.

Ok, they are not working. Write step by step what you have done. Were SH4 is loaded, etc. We will get you going. SH4 and Vista do play nice nice
Just looking through your previous post. Where is JSGME loaded? I extract mine right to the SH4 root folder. After that I got to the SH4 main folder and create a folder. Call it MODS. This is were you need to extract the mods to. Once done. Go back to the SH4 main folder and double click the JSGME icon to open. Activate the mods listed on the left. You should see a much different game right off the bat if the mods are working.

I installed SHIV into a stand alone folder called GAMES on the hardrive outside of the x86 folder. I've installed JSGME into that GAMES folder. I created a MODS folder in the GAMES folder as well and extracted the mods into it. I then ran JSGME to install them and it said they were activated properly. I did all of this before running the game so I had nothing to go on as to whether it was working but as I've played, I've been coming to the realization it wasn't working. BTW, the game itself runs fine.

When I extract mods I navigate to the MODS folder inside the SH4 main folder where I created the MODS folder. Once done, I navigate to the SH4 main folder and double click the JSGME icon to activate the mods. Close out JSGME when the mods are done activating and then close the SH4 main folder. Start your game.

Yes, do not activate mods while in patrol. In fact, it you have this set up like I have posted. Go to your DOCUMENTS folder and find the SH4 folder in there. Open it up. There are two saved game files(saved games and rich saved games). Delete these(yes, you loose saved games but this is unavoidable). The go activate the mods. See what happens.

Trust me....Bungo Pete created by Ducimus is a nasty bastard. Some have beat him and others have not. Bungo Pete is the hell spawn DD If you really want to met Bungo Pete download the TMO mod package created by Duci. It is a good mod package.
