ALSO by planning and ordering Market Garden. Eisenhower held responsibility for MG too, but he was trying to let the British have a little bit of the limelight.

There were too many characters for me to keep them all straight. Which one was Sgt. Lipton? Actor Jack Warden was in the 101st. I wonder if the BoB producers tried to get in touch with him?

I've been repeatedly hacked in the past few months. Based on your testimonial I downloaded that program. Don't know how I lived without it before. --------------------------------------- When I first installed ZA I found out I was getting 5-10 entry attempts per day. They stopped after a few weeks, as if my IP address got taken off a list.

I downloaded the latest drivers (Cirrus doesn't support patches any longer, I had to pay $5 to DL the driver from ISDnet...) and got the demo. The terrain looked really crappy, objects were decently rendered in color (although now I wish I had splurged for 8mb vram) but the ground itself was white. I reset my color from 16-bit to 32- and 24-bit, but the demo hung up again, with just a black screen at 32-bit setting and the initial announcement" screen at 24-bit. The hourglass appeared and I could move it with my cursor, but I waited more than several minutes each time and nothing happened. I had to reset my machine both times. I'm bummed.

I am also getting the black screen after the briefing. Unlike others, my cursor locks up as well and I have to reset, Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work. I also am not getting any sound.

When I try to start a demo game I get a black screen after the second briefing screen, then my cursor locks up. This has happened with both scenarios. I tried to install DirectX7, but after my machine reboots during installation the install never resumes. I have a PII/266 with 64mb RAM and a Cirrus Logic 546X video card.
