  1. Definitely Zone alarm have tested with Z/A disabled .I could join and connect. What puzzles me is why Z/A does not ask for permission,you can normally check Z/A and give the programme permission. I tried to drag and drop the .exe file to no avail.So no zone alarm with CM for me.Thanks for the help
  2. I tried a false address with Zone alarm shut down, there was a reaction came back with couldn't connect to server which would be expected.I will try tcp/ip connection with some one tomorrow.Why on earth would Z/A have anything to do with a graphics card and why does Z/A not ask for permission ?? Just letting off a bit of steam here my friend:)
  3. Egbert, Can you let me know if you can tcp/ip please.
  4. I have recently installed a radeon 9500 pro graphics card,runs sweetly except when trying to tcp CM freezes as soon as I enter p/w or the server connection numbers. Xp home dx 9 Help is reqd please
  5. For quite a while I had CMBB running very nicely on my GA-VRXP mother board and G4ti4200 card.It started crashing and I do not know what caused it,it happened during a tcp/ip battle but I kept getting it periodically after that, all I get is white screens and have to reset,I also noticed that when I was in chat and activated the chat CMBB would minimise but now when activating the minimise button sound would continue and if it is a result screen I can see the result but nothing else just the mouse cursor on a black screen and I have to ctrl/alt/tab out as CM is still running.I used to be able to alt/tab minimises ok but same problem trying to continue CM. I have formatted C reinstalled everything and still the same problems.Tried older drivers later drivers all to no avail dx 8.1 and the 40.90 drivers at the moment. The purpose of this long winded post is to find out if anyone else has the GainwardG4 ti4200 card on 2 monitors and if they would be kind enough to post here or send me their configeration. XP Home btw
  6. What's this did I hear sheep mentioned in this illustrious company. [ December 03, 2002, 03:24 AM: Message edited by: rwwald ]
  7. Just arrived home and its sitting by my computer now to load:)
  8. Just checking if I am a bit dumb or a glitch. I just placed my order but it took many many tries finally due to frustration I entered my first initial in the name field(card section) and bingo order went through. I hope this order comes direct and not via New Caledonia:)
  9. The demo arrived safe and well downunder,now to play
  10. Been using those drivers for a couple of days now with g4 ti4200 and xp no problems so far.
  11. So I come back to have a look around and what do I find the old age topic hehe Regards to all
  12. I have asked a few questions re my gigabyte motherboard Ga-7vrxp and the ge 4 ti4200 in the past few weeks. I finally managed to get the supplier to replace the motherboard and my problems now are solved thanks to those who took the time to offer suggestions.
  13. megramps again. Apologies for all the questions. I have insalled winxp on d drive after all my problems with 98.I still get a not shut down correctly when starting in 98 and when starting in xp get a freeze, reset and then all seems ok,however this is not the question. I have noted that the main answer to problems seem to be make sure you have the latest drivers. I tried a pbem file sent to me and the result was a crash at 33 secs then about 40secs.Extended desktop disabled Driver info Ti4200 driver 2.8.3.2 9/03/02 Creative pci128(wdm)5.12.1.4113 5/12/01 Downloaded and insalled updates Same file loaded and ran once ok. Tried again and left my extended deskop on file loaded and ran once including back all ok So I should now be smiling checked to see the updated drivers Ti4200 2.7.2.0 15/01/02 Creative pci128 5.12.1.2065 26/10/01 I admit I am in my second childhood but for the life of me I cannot understand how the drivers I have installed are later than the original ones. Can a kind person take the time to explain thanks.
  14. Hello again Actually had C/M running for about 10 mins or so with 1 crash when I fast forwarded the movie and hit a few keys at the same time, morrowind ran for 10 mins no crash. What I did for what it is worth did not update drivers though I have downloaded them.Removed creative start up icon by altering a key in the registry,removed the creative disk activate tool ??? program then ctrl/alt/del everything alse except explorer,deactivate extended desktop as C/M would not even load with this on. Mouse not found on start up and windows did not shut down correctly.Tried disabling fast shut down but then the computer lights and fans stayed on and the computer power button would not shut down so reactivated fast shut. Done a few resets and shut downs today and all seems to be ok.So it is wait and see what happens in the morning after I shut down tonight.
  15. Schrullenhaft Thank you for the reply I have done most of what you suggested but not neccesarily in the right sequence or the updated drivers. I will not try anymore until I get this mouse problem and the shut down fixed. Thanks again.
  16. Hi I have just had a new system and the same problem happens with C/M and Morrowind the games load ok but as soon as the cm scenario,qb or pbem battle starts my computer freezes have to reset.In morrowind exact same thing at the start of game when asking to name avatar(I think that is the correct word). The editor of morrowind and a couple of programs that do NOT have to access the cd seem to work ok. System ga-7vrxp m/b with an amd 2000x cpu 512 ddr 333 ram 1.6 mhz.Gainward geforce4 ti4200 twin view graphics card.Win 98 on original h/d.Another h/d for future install of xp.BTCBTE40121M cd/r. This may not be relavant When picking up comp was told there may be a problem with sound and may have to do a clean install of win 98. As soon as computer was started next day mouse not found on screen,started a few times restarts etc and finally got all going reasonable but no c/m. Next day same no mouse advised to do a reinstall of windows after many tries computer and internet ok still no go c/m. Next day.........the same problems and the next day it is now Sat evening and I am going to leave the computer on till mon morn when I will take it back. So sorry for the long winded rant but I was hoping some one may have a bit of info I can give to my computer man. Regards Rob (megramps)

I enter the address,(I can cancel and all is ok),as soon as I click ok it seems to access the HD briefly and then I have to ctrl/alt/del ,message Combat Mission not responding and I end task. Computer is ok no blue screen etc. Pentium 500,128mb,nvidea tnt2 32 mb,latest drivers,IE 5.5 and updated. icq ,yahoo and zone alarm all disabled. The residential adsl UP 800 DN 3744 Phone on same line. As I say I have no problem hosting. Any advice would be much appreciated
  20. Thanks Matt I had done that but since then I installed ie6beta as a long shot that did not work so I reverted back to previous version of ie and lo it has worked on BoB site I am now going to try other sites. Thanks for reply confirm I can now get into CMHQ chat and TH chat [ 05-28-2001: Message edited by: rwwald ]
  21. Hi Sorry if this is slightly OT but I am getting very frustrated.I have searched and have not been able to find an answer.I cannot access CMHQ chat,TH chat and Band of Brothers chat,the pages just freeze nothing happens.I have just had adsl and a modem installed but this was happening before.I have win 98,ie5.5 pen3 500mh.Any help would be appreciated as far as I am aware I have latest drivers etc but have not altered anything though I reinstalled 98 hoping it would fix the problem.
  22. Regretfully I have to admit that I have had a 100-0 loss it was as defender in the original version.Small map,clear,day,30 turns,farmland,no tree cover or hills,I was allies.That is all I remember about the rout. Another kiwi Regards Gramps
  23. Am I now allowed to blame my 50+ losses on the map and not my opponents superior tactics. Regards Gramps
