  1. Well the old G4 mac is dying, 8 yrs old and I use it to play CM x1 in OS 9. Great games with lots of scenarios. So now I have decided to try to play CM x1 with a 2.4Ghz iMac and Win XP.

    I am running Win XP in boot camp. I down loaded the Demo CM Africa corps but the text was just white boxes and no readable text. Are there preferences/options that are not available in the Demo?

    As it is now, CM x1 is unplayable on my Win XP set up.

  2. I want to thank every one for the help.

    CMSF has been running just fine after

    updating Windows XP with

    Update for Windows XP (KB896256)

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C2AB5A48-8240-4934-BBD8-34FB8A0FCE3B&displaylang=en

    Then updating the ATI drivers at

    http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/mac/bootcamp-xp.html

    Then updating CMSF to 1.0.4.

    I am not sure if the Windows update was necessary??

    The game plays just fine with normal settings. I don't know how to determine the frame rates.

  3. I bought Shock force CD when is was released. I can not get the game to run on VMWare Fusion or in Bootcamp on a new iMac 2.4 GHz 1 GB memory OS 10.4.10.

    In Fusion the game loads but will not run.

    In Bootcamp when trying to place way-points it quits.

    I will down load v 1.04 of Shock Force and see if that helps.

    Has anyone got this game to run on a Mac??

  4. I am having trouble downloading the scenarios from

    http://www.dragonlair.net/combatmission/

    If the file is not zipped, but is text, I can not use the scenario. I am using a Mac with OS 10.3.9 with Safari to download the file and copy and paste into either TextEdit or Appleworks. The text appears in a window which I copy and paste into the word processor.

    I give the file a name with a prefix of .cmb or the other prefix ( I can't remember now what it is) and place it into the game scenarios folder. The scenario will not show in the window if I want to modify it nor will show up in the game to start the scenario.

    Any zipped scenarios work just fine.

    How can I use the text scenarios?

  5. I am playing against the computer in the operation called To the Volga. Lots of bulidings. The time per turn is over an hour. If I get a 3 times faster cpu for my Mac G4/400, will the game play 3 times faster?

    I allocated 200 megs of memeory to the game, the computer has over 800 megs memory and running OS 9.1.

    The new Sonnet 1.25 gig card is about $800.

  6. I am using a G4/400 with 320 megs memory,

    OS 9.1

    CM 1.1 and I can not get Clash of Eagles to run.

    I had run this scenario several months ago but it now locks up. I get to the screen to select sides and quanitity of forces and the programs just stops. I have waited 4 to 5 minutes for the scenario to load but nothing. I had to use the reset button to restart the computer. I did this several times with the same result. I ran Norton Disk Doctor and Disk Warior, reinstalled a new copy of CM v1.1 and replaced the scenario Clash of Eagles. I have allocated 60 megs of memory to CM. Any thoughts??

  7. I have ordered TacOps 3 for the Mac. I would like to change the colors of friendly and enemy units. I do not like the linguini spined blue but would prefer testosterone green. The enemy should be commy pink.

    These are not political correct colors but just reflect my personal preferences.
