yep downloaded manual to Tablet.. good to go!

thx guys..found the alt tab thing yesterday mebe I can set up my Tablet to view the manual??

new to CBBN..can it be played in a windowed mode? want to read the tutorial and play at tame time.

nasty. doesn't take long for men to take things down...

wonder if he'd do the same (make a call for a return) if he pulled out his shorts backwards and put them on wrong side up... This is evidence of why some people make a difference in the world and others are just in the way

update: even tho my normal user account was created with administrator privilages, and even tho I manually went through several uninstalls and reinstalls and setting admin privilages on the executables, patching and over and over. The game(s) wouldn't run. I finally tried logging on to the main admin account and installed the game, went in and manually selected admin privilages on all executables, and the game was able to run...both on the default install location and a reinstall to a larger data drive. Don't know exactly why, but was only able to get the game to run by installing in the main admin account. Hope this helps someone else that may buy and install this older game.

game still won't run after trying everything that BF suggests... anyone???

how'd you get the game to run? I've tried everything that BF suggests and game still won't run

did the uber patch, same problem, won't work. sux never used the games and stuck with it.

can't get iether SF or ToW to run on my system. SF error says "failed to initialize..." Vista 64 ultimate latest nvidia drivers can anyone help?

found that patch but site says it is not for my version, only for the downloaded version. ??

no haven't installed any patches... went to the patch area and it said there were no patchesfor my version...will search for the uber patch. specs here are: asus p6t6 i7 940 12g corsair 1600 2x evga gtx 295 vista 64 ult

ordered it from battlefront.com along with Shock Force...

PC DvD Tried all the instructions at the help section about adding the files to in the performance section, but game still won't run. Got tired of trying after a couple hours...

Installed the game today from the retail dvd but it won't run. Selected to run in Win XP SP2 mode and as administrator but still no good. Tried to also run the mission editor and got an error saying that it won't work with the version of the game...doh! anyone help?

hi BD, I actually have the exact same problem. I did have a scratch on the cd when it came in the mail, but I was able to install when I inserted it into my other CDROM drive (I have a CDR RW drive and a DVD player in my system) For some reason one of my drives does not like the CM CD's and the other is ok with it. Just curious but what drive(s) do you have in your system? FYI, you can use a small third party program to make an ISO of your CD's and use the program to load this ISO so that you do not need to use the physical CM CD's. The program I use is Virtual CD. You can use this program to make ISO's of all your games (their CD's) and run all of your games without needing to open your CDROM again. [ August 04, 2003, 09:10 PM: Message edited by: WarDogz ]

MJ Millions of people own new Dodge Caravans. Thousands...millions of those Caravan owners have "problems" with them. And somewhere out there there are Caravan owners without problems (yet) looking down their self righteous, virus infested, disease spreading noses covered in dried and crusty bodily fluids from undesireable areas of the human anatomy and railing on those trying to make known their misfortune with their caravans, declaring them product "bashers" and "whining" about their problems. Unfortunately for these that deem the misfortunate this way, there is no further enlightenment toward wholeness and purity of their Caravan that can be attained. Existance for them is reduced to comparing themselves to those they distain that they may glory in the reflection of themselves in their Caravan's rear view mirror. But of course this is a hypothetical ideal since I've never met a major jerk off like that. [ August 04, 2003, 09:21 PM: Message edited by: WarDogz ]

how many sound devices do you have in your system and have you checked the Control Panel to ensure your playback is set to the correct device?

Tero, try turning off (Application Preference)Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering options in the ati control panel for Direct3D [ August 02, 2003, 01:45 PM: Message edited by: WarDogz ]

hiya Prinz, Welcome to the world of ATI. If you decide to keep your new card you'll face many more weeks and months of frustration...period. I'm running a Radeon 9700pro also and speak from experience regarding ATI graphics performance. It seriously sux bro :-( . In order for me to get mine somewhat stable I endured many system formats and had to settle with a substandard installation. My advice would be to dump the card and stay with an Nvidia. BUT if you insist on keeping it I can offer some comments. Your system bios is probably fine as is. Your MB doesn't support agp 8x which is the reason for getting a Radeon 9700 in the first place. It's highly doubtful that chainging system BIOS is gonna do any good for this problem. If you have an option for enabling or disabling "Fast Writes" then be sure to turn this off in your BIOS setup. Regarding driver installation order. Be sure you check which resources the Radeon is using ( interrupts) and try to place other cards in your system in slots that don't share PCI interrupts. Which reminds me, what type of sound card do you use? My Radeon does not like my Audigy 2 and remains an issue to this day. Once you have that sorted out I advise to do an Fdisk and format your drives. Install the drivers for the Radeon before DX9 as the DX9 files are newer than any ATI stuff...overwriting DX9 files with ATI stuff caused system crashes with me. I get fewer crashes now. I would test the sytem as you go, to troubleshoot where the problems begin. Install some programs and games cold booting often to get Winblows settled in as it tends to change hardware configurations often which causes sytem instability. Install your system cards one at a time cold booting again for reasons above. I found when installing my drivers that I had a consistent conflict with mt Audigy 2 drivers and the ATI Control Panel. With the Audigy drivers installed, the ATI Control Panel crashes. In order for me to get the Audigy in I uninstall the sound drivers, disable the card and then run the ATI Control Panel and set my preferences there, then reinstall the sound stuff. ATI cards are finicky cards...they work with some systems and don't work well in others. ATI is coninuing to fix their drivers and have been for a long time. I have old Abit and Tyan motherboards that had problems with ATI cards and they are still working on issues related to those. This is why I advise to drop the ATI card as you problem may or may not take quite some time to actually get a Cat release that makes your system stable. BTW, regarding calling ATI tech support, you only have a short time of courtesy support with them, after a month or so you will be required to call a 900 number for help so if you decide to call them, be sure you get EVERYTHING worked out since they leave you to your own to fix incompatabilities with their products.

It's true. There's a few programs available which you can choose from. I use Virtual CD 5.x. Once you make an ISO of your CD with the program you just use it ( the program) to load the ISO and when you run the game it see's the virtual CD drive and the loaded ISO. It's the same as using a copy of your CD.

Knaust, just do a search in your browser for Virtual CD..it comes up as the second listing for me

I use Virtual CD 5.xx...it's shareware.

you can also use a third party program to simulate the CD and be able to put your CD away for posterity sake. It creates a virtual CD drive on your computer's harddrive and makes an ISO of your game CD's. The program works for any of your games so all you need to do is use the program to "load" the game ISO that you wish to play and you're all set. Since you're only making a copy of your CD onto your PC's harddrive, you're not breaking any agreement with BTS.

do you have anything plugged into the second monitor port on the card? perhaps your primary or only monitor is plugged into the secondary port? [ July 21, 2003, 06:17 PM: Message edited by: WarDogz ]
