LOL oops, thanks Wesreidau. Will try then report

no "safe" in corners. Windows boots into the "safemode" resolution and colours, without the option to alter them. rebooted and tried the scandisk thru the "mycomputer C drive/properties method" and the scandisk reported a msdos prog (sounded like ms access)to be too long. When i said ignore and continue it hung shortly afterwards. Tried the msdos prompt "scanreg /restore" but got "bad command or file missing" error message(tried different combos of spacing with no joy- was in C:\ prompt, main root at the time). What seemed to cause the thing to crash in the first place was a duplicated and corrupted txt file in word. (This was deleted) but 15 minutes after doing this and continuing with the "uncorrupted" txt file the system hung, screen went black ad pc stopped. Now when trying to reboot win95 almost gets to open fully, looks like most of the tray icons have loaded, when it reboots again. Sometimes it runs scandisk , sometimes it doesn't. Odd On the occasion when it does fully load i am still in the "safe mode" config without the safemode warning flags, someone called it "software mode". Looks like i am going to have to call out an expensive engineer fellas?

Thankyou ppl, going to try now, the F8 thing didn't cure it though cos when "1 normal" is selected the thing boots back into safe mode wiith no further message displayed.

after suffering a crash in win95 i chose start in safe mode, knowing that i could shut down the pc properly from there. Unfortunately, the pc now thinks that "normal mode" is safe mode. I have no clue how to get out of this, assuming it is possible. In view of the helpful advice re techno stuff given out by this community, i am chancing my arm and hoping that i can get some kind sole to point me in the right direction, thanks, chris

wow Jon, the freedrive limit has been reached. 500mb in 24 hours!!! well done.

First, I wouldn't hold off buying the game as it is still fantastic. Second, I posted the enquiry into the tech help board and BTS replied that they were looking into it.

Excellent, thankyou.

Hope it helps. Accuracy not guaranteed, i only copied them from another link which I now can't find.

http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/010050.html The above contains the query I am now asking, perhaps it was posted on the wrong board or I have missed the BTS official explanation when I searched. Please update me.

I posted a similar enquiry a while back and was told it was a bug (but not by steve or charles). Damned if I can find the link in the search though, sorry.

in my opinion YES. My friend also took look at the game and wasn't too impressed, "too difficult". However I showed him the moves and the choices of orders available and soon he was enthralled by the game. The large, easy to read manual that comes with the game should give you the same help as i did for my mate. If not there are dozens of ppl on here that will help you out, just browse the board (hamsters and borgs even help out on occasion) Not only that but the incredible amount of modifications available make this game well worth getting.

simple answer OGSF= try em out. It's a personal taste thing. I have both and like em. Before you unzip a tiger mod, or anyone elses, look at the bitmap numbers. There are not usually many for a vehicle. Copy the identical numbers from the bitmap folder of CM proper to a safe (and memorable) place on your machine. Then go ahead and install the mod by unzipping it into CM bitmaps folder. If you like the look of the mod in the game, great. If not, simply copy back your saved bitmap files, no harm done.

Very good work. Thanks for your time. I've got em.

While not being my own choice of colours they are perfectly readable on my monitor. I am pleased that some ppl are bothered to do such things.

Yes they do look a little too happy in their work rather than grim and determinated but a very good change from the CM originals. Well done.
