SHO Silent Hunter 2

After I select the icon to start a mission i get this:
"Cannot find c:\janus.err file would you like to create a new file?"
I am running windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

The SUBSIM Archives cover most of the zillion JANUS issue that occurred with this game.

You also didn't state whether the game was patched or not.

Yes I have used the patch and laboriously looked through the archive. I just can't find anyone else with this identical problem that has fixed it. Damn you Janus!

In addition to installing Kriegstanz for enjoyment, this is the install order for Pacific Aces. I believe installing Project Messerwetzer is the key to preventing Janus errors in both SH II and PA. I'm running Win 7 Pro.

Also need to set Win 7 SH II compatibility mode to XP or lower.
Quote:
1. Clean Install of SH2, and rename the folder to 'Pacific Aces' or whatever name you prefer.
2. Install the official SH2 Patch 1.1
3. Install Vicker's mods
4. Install Project Messerwetzer to avoid some Janus errors
5. Install PA 1.0, pointing to your 'Pacific Aces' folder.
6. Install PA patch 1.1
7. Install new PA Sound 1.1
8. Install glitche fix patch that includes optional dive bubble for Project Messerwetzer
9. Lethal radius mod (used 5 DepthChargeJP*.ADF files)
10. Active sonar hack ... edited the 10 SonarActive, SonaractiveUS, SonaractiveJapan, etc... files.
Happy Hunting!
