I'll keep this one short Event ID 4097 seems to be a generic error message when a program does something the OS doesnt like. Most likely, you have a program that is resident in memory, that CM wants to write to, or some strange driver conflict. Wish I could be of more help. I would suggest unloading all programs before running CM (make sure the system tray is empty, too), and see if that helps.

If you look at the event in the event viewer, there will be an event ID associated with that. If you get me the entire Event ID and description, I can look it up in Microsoft Technet for you, and see if we can figure it out. Either post it here, or email it to me, I'll be glad to give whatever help I can.

Woody - Glad I could help!

Sounds like the monitor you have installed is the wrong one. Click the monitor button, and make sure you have either the correct one installed, or make sure you have the Super VGA 1024x768 monitor installed, and your slider should come back. Let me know how this works!

Voodoo cards latest drivers (for all Voodoo based chipsets) can be had at: www.3dfxgamers.com They usually have the latest Beta versions there, too, if you want to be that cutting edge Jim, this sounds to me like CM is trying to render with your primary graphics card, and not the Voodoo 2 card. Go to Gateway and get the latest drivers for the OEM AGP video card. Be careful getting the drivers from the card manufacturer, however, as some OEM card (ones that ship with Gateways/Dells etc) have different driver sets that can only be gotten from the PC manufacturers website.

Bad news. NT 4.0, SP 6.0a (the latest SP) only has DirectX 3.0 - Microsoft has no plans to add DX 6.0+ to NT, as its a business platform, and not a home use/gaming platform. They say the same about Windows 2000, but it ships with DX 7.0. Basically you have two choices - install a copy of Win98 on your machine (set it up for dual boot), or upgrade to W2000. I personally run W2000, have for better part of 8 months now, and I love it.

Glad I could help! Enjoy the Gold Demo, I know I am! ps - Fionn - I *love* the new .sig

This looks like a Logitech Mouse driver problem. Here is some information from my Microsoft Technet: SYMPTOMS ======== The fourth and fifth mouse buttons may not be recognized by Windows. This applies to the typical mouse, as well as to integral mouse hardware on some laptop computers. CAUSE ===== The mouse drivers included with Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition do not support the 5-button mouse. RESOLUTION ========== A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information on support costs, please go to the following address on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/overview/overview.asp Date Time Version Size File name --------------------------------------------------- 02/25/2000 06:08pm 4.10.2223 10,123 Mouhid.vxd 06/14/1999 05:35pm 4.10.2223 15,833 Msmouse.vxd 06/14/1999 05:37pm 4.10.2223 33,356 Vmouse.vxd It sounds to me like either your software needs to be updated, your mouse is going bad, or a Direct Input issue with DirectX. I would reload your mouse drivers first, and if that doesnt help, reload DirectX 6 or 7. But the multiple errors in LMOUSE.vxd and VMOUSE.vxd definately indicate a mouse input problem. Good luck!

I'll second the 'our' brave troops, meaning all Allies, and anyone else involved - UK, US, France, et. al. Without EVERYONES sacrafices, the world would be a much different place now. Thanks to everyone involved. hey! I hit 'member' status! WOOOOOOT! [This message has been edited by slazzari (edited 05-09-2000).]

Thanks for the update Bill! I, for one, am really looking forward to this, just wish you could have gotten it out BEFORE the weekend! Thanks for the effort, cant wait to get my hands on it... Scott L. +++++++++ If I'd have know what was going to happen, I would have been a plumber. -A Einstein

(slightly out of the thread topic )Mannheim Tanker - Just out of curiosity, were you in Mannheim, Germany, in the early 90's? If so, email me, I was there from 90-92 Scott

Here is a quick suggestion on scenarios, and 'ratings' - I have been investigating purchasing ASL for the last few weeks (lets not go there ), and one thing I stumbled across I thought would mesh in really nicely with CM - There was a website that tracked the winners (Allies or Axis) for scenarios. After the sampling got large enough (30-50 games reported), you could see a trend develop on which side in the battle had the advantage. The most 'balanced' scenarios were roughly 50-50 allies/axis in the W column, etc. I think this would be a great thing to track for CM, also. Thoughts?

Having been there and done that (Just not for _nearly_ as long as the Col.), I just have one thing to say. Amen.

Has anyone heard about the availability of drivers for the Voodoo 4/5 under Win2k? I am extremely dissapointed in 3dfx's Win2k support for my Voodoo 3 3000 right now (no support, and one release of unsupported beta drivers...), and unless they come out and say they are supporting Win2k fully with these new cards, I will not purchase one. I like the capabilites, and the reported performance, but I need my Win2k support!
