Hi, Just wanted to check in with you guys. When playing these games on a Laptop I find that after 2 hours of play when subsequently loading a new game, the system crashes. Has anyone else experienced this phenomynon ? When using a Desktop, I never experienced this before and was able to play for an unlimited amount of time.

You wouldnt want to control more units than that, otherwise you will lose good C2.

Shall I push my luck ? Would my system be adequate for TOW2 as well ?

I have played the Close Combat and Combat Mission series. To me TOW seems just like CM. The only difference being one turn based, the other RTS. Am I right ? I guess I'm just a bit hesitant to purchase TOW as my system isnt super fast. I just purchased a laptop Intel dual core 2 with 512 MB video card and 4 GB RAM. I figure COH should run on that but not sure about TOW ?

Just curious from the users percpective which one do you prefer COH or TOW ? I understand that COH takes a more arcadic approach, this is good in that its more fun. Others will argue that they seek realism. This however comes at the expensive of playability. Curious to know you opinions.

I just went to the nvidia web site to dowload the latest driver but the information received is vague. When was the last driver available for download is it version 53.04? Also I removed the demo for CMAK as I got the 600X 800X error message before game launch, tried to reinstall but says setup is corrupted?? Thanks in advance for response

Any newbies or people that havn't got Madmatt's sound mod should drop what they're doing and go get it from the CMHQ. It is awesome!!! Fantastic and such a difference. I highly recommend the sound mod!! But beware it takes a long time to download don't worry its worth it. The game is totally different and highly improved.

Well they download at one hell of a slow rate. About 3 times slower then a normal download. It will take me 4 hours and 40 minutes to download just the 17 MB sound pack!!! That's rediculous. Has anyone else had similar probs? Solutions?

I mean I havn't touched any yet but I plan to. But I think the sounds and graphics are great as is !!! Do Mods make it much better? Concerning sound MOD's is there such a difference?

BTS, I would like to offer my official thank you for a great game. I'm enjoying it very much. Wish i had more time to play!!

Why the hell is this not possible? In the scenario editor there is no sand terrain!! There are also no landing craft. What can be done about this?

SPR was just a freaken movie!! Any average player, playing as the Germans should have no problem finishing off the Allies in quick time considering what they had in the movie. Don't forget SPR was done for Hollywood!! Its bull****. With those Tigers and infantry support the Allies are no match!!

To all that helped, Thankyou I am now up and running. I downloaded Direct X 8.0, diabled AGP setting, downloaded latest mouse driver and I'm now current. Thanks for your time and suggestions particularly you Shrullenhaft. IDF

Shrullenhaft, I got that driver 9x for SB live but this is the one I had before. When checking driver information in the device manager it says that the driver is from 8/99?????? How do I get the latest driver? PLease anyone I need more advise to get me up and running.
