I had this problem after the maddog mod patch too. It even happened in the tutorial scenario.

CMers is a good basic title but for excitment and fun we can use Combat Monkeys!

I've seen some other folks with this same problem. When using the installer I get an error message that the bmp file doesn't match the cab file. I installed manually and the game works with no problem. I take it this is not a bad cd just a glitch with some computer setups? Please let me know if I'm supposed to do anything else or notify support email etc etc...
Thanks everyone!

Have you checked with the company that makes your motherboard? Are you sure you set all jumpers on your MB to support that chip? I'm running a amd K6-2 450 on win98SE with no problems.

Good luck Wayne,
TNT2 is a good chipset so I don't think you'll have problems.

Wayne,
It works great as far as I'm concerned. I upgraded from a 16meg banshee that didn't show any of the high quality smoke and translucent buildings. Now I get everything(on the demo, i don't have CM yet
I downloaded the nVIDIA detonator drivers and they installed easily and work great. Just make sure you follow the directions. I've noticed a big improvement with the Cougar so I would recommend it, especially for the nice price

I'm wondering how many patches and mods I'll have on my hard drive before I get the game...{sigh}

I suppose this is good news in some way...I'll have a reason for my high blood pressure...and maybe the hole I put in the back of the mailbox just now...i was SURE CM was in there...somewhere!
Do you remember the scene from The Shining where it goes through several scenes showing how Jack is falling apart and the ominous music plays and the date and time appear in the subtitle?

Greg,
You will have to 'cut' and 'paste' not drag and drop with the .exe icon. It's a windows thing

Wayne,
I'm running an AMD K6-2 450 W/128 megs of RAM, TNT-2 32meg (AGP) video card and win98. I upgraded from a 16meg banshee w/64meg of RAM and CM runs very very smooth now and the graphics blow away the older card. If you want a good and fairly cheap system this is what I would suggest with your cpu if you have that available AGP slot. If not then find a motherboard that has agp, super socket 7 boards are very affordable, I've used DFI and FIC, I like DFI better so far.

You're right Joe, it is comforting that neither of us have CM yet. I hope we both get it on the same day or one of us will REALLY start to worry.
It will probably come tomorrow because I'll be away from my mailbox all day. I may try and sneak home for a few minutes to get the mail..
But then again...if it's not here tomorrow...oh nevermind, I'm going to make myself crazy..errr, more crazy. ------------------

Thanks BTS, you guys continue to impress!
I may not have CM in my hands yet, but I know when I get it, it will be the finest running and best supported game I have ever owned.------------------

Is there a building in CM to represent the 7-eleven?
"looks as if the Jerries have set up their command post in JC Penny's. We'll have to go in through the food court men!"

Maybe I just haven't played the gold demo enough or something but I had a tree growing in the middle of the dirt road on the Allied left flank. Has this been seen before? has this minor glitch been fixed?
I also noticed in that same scenario that the anti-tank pillbox was placed on the very pointy tip of a small hill in front of the small lake in VoT. It sorta pointed to the sky...very odd.

I think it's all in how you use the tiger. Set up ambushes, hull down, defensive posistions. It's so slow that the less you have to move it or it's turret the better. Also remember to use your support tanks if they are available to protect the tiger.
On the offense the tiger is hard to use and again I'd want to have plenty of support before I moved it out into the open. Didn't Whittman(sp?) use Assault gun tactics? ie, turning the entire vehicle instead of the slow turret? You have to make use of that thick frontal armor against lower power guns and sometimes you are just out classed by speed.

Dont forget RAM. You may already have enough but I upgraded from 64meg to 128meg and it made a huge difference on my machine. Faster turns and smoother scrolling in combo with the tnt2 32meg.
