Has anyone got CM working under WXP Beta 2?

Thanks Al Strachan

Wow, I think you have the record! Have you noticed that it is the young guys who complain about getting old, while we old guys are having a ball and getting better all the time like good wine!

I have to say I don't much like the term "Old Farts". Here are some alternate suggestions:

Golden Grognards

Wargaming Lifers

Fully Mature Wargamers

Wise Old Veterans

Old Faithfuls

Keepers of the Flame

Old Soldiers Who Never Die

Living Monuments of Wargaming

Henri: They all sound good to me. Here are a few more:

Golden Years Grunt

Retirement Retread

Toothless Tankman

Viagra Volunteer

Can you help me? I'm on vacation at my son's and, of course, brought my CM disk with me. But when I instal it on his machine and try to play, I get error messages. Regards

Almost any game bythose people who made "The Lost Admiral" and the "Grandest Fleet". Forget the companys name - they went bellyup - Alzeimers has got me, I guessm its hell to grow old but better than the alternative. Al Strachan

I am on vacation at my son's and, of course, I took my CM CD with me. But when I install it on my son's computer so I can play the gamw - I get error messages when I try to play. I don't have my manual with me (who looks at manuals anyway:) ). Is there a readonce only file on the cd which stops you instaling the game on another computer? Thanks Al Strachan

PS send any email to alaskanstrachans@mosquitonet.com

Thanks to all - I am happily playing the demo, and have ordered the full game. Look forward to comparing notes with others on the forum. Thanks again. Al Strachan

Thanks guys. I have a Dell Dimension 466 with a 128mb ram and a 32mb video card. I tried again and this time the troops moved - but the tanks wouldn't. Al

I downloaded the demo and it loads fine. When I Rclk on a unit I get the menu, but after I say "GO" the computer says it is thinking, but nothing happens, and then when I R clk on any unit - nothing happens. What am I doing wrong. I couldn't find anything about this in the text that was downloaded
