Bump you lazy Bastids....damn Aussies dropping the ball again. Speedbump

Hop5, I was having the same problem you were, probably the same video card. I had given up and purchased a new card just for CMBB. I ran across this thread, downloaded the zip file and ran it. I unzipped to a temp directory. There is a readme file with gives detailed instructions on how to unload the prior video driver and how to load the new one. If you follow them, you should have no problem. I am now back up and running, the CMBB demo works and I will return the new video card tommorow!! Speedbump

To close my loop, I decided to buy a new video card. Picked up the TNT2 M64 and we are up and running! Preorder is now in. Thanks, Jeff

Arghhh. Hit Edit not reply...doofus. [ September 07, 2002, 04:26 PM: Message edited by: Speedbump ]

Sounds exactly like the problem I am having at home. Works fine at work, but tried at home and get the same issues after "Loading 3d Graphics". I go on to get flashing blue lines if I click anywhere in the screen, as if I were group highlighting. I get several labels, but other than that the black screen.

Well, send our CMBO file so I can practice being a surrender monkey {note: Berli, the scenario designer, should rot in....oh, yeah, already done}! Speedbump

Joe, watch out for the Speedbump! Persephone</font>

It was ugly, there I was armed with slingshots and one or two of these new fangled SMG's and what kind of map do I get? Barely a tree in sight {the company mascot was bouncing up and down on 3 legs}! So those damned yanks could just sit there with their M1's and plink away the entire time. And don't get me started on one shot kills... <small>Oh yeah, Boo won...</small> Speedbump

SpeedDump, am I supposed to be surprised that a little knowledge frightens you? Actually I find it hard to believe that any amount of knowledge on any topic wouldn't frighten you. Papa</font>

What scares me the most, is that you actually know this...researching it, maybe? Speedbump

So is the flush toilet, so what's your point? Speedbump

Boo, why don't we split one? I think there is a special at Home Depot! Oh, imagine the sounds as Hiram is pulled slowly in... Speedbump

Steve, what bothers me most about this thread is not the title (I understand the manner in which it was meant), not your comment, but the fact that others chose to personally attack you for making the comment. Frankly, your comment was as benign as it could be. References to you as a "fundi" etc. do not appear to be called for. The value of this community relative to other places on the net is its lack of antipathy among the participants. I hope that people realize this. Jeff

Worked fine for me...

Gosh, Spkr, I hope they take preorders...any one know if they are taking preorders?

For shame, dalem, for shame! Here is this kindly older gentleman who no doubt, has put oodles of time and effort into beautifying his home, his castle, the extension of his ID and YOU have to move in with your bumpkin-like ways, much like the Clampets did to their poor neighbors in Beverly Hills. Do you also pee in your cee-ment pond? And after you've cheapen his property values by just being in the vicinity, you hire Alf and Ralph to come over, strew their tools willy-nilly all over hell and back and gouge huge divots out of his lawn with their scaffolding. They were probably drunk, too. I hope you'r proud of yourself, turning this man's life into a Fellini-esque nightmare, whilst you stand there grinning your vacuous gap-toothed grin doing your best Jr. Samples impersonation.

I spend much of my freetime baby-fricken-sitting to help out someone who does not give a rat's patootie about Combat Mission. </font>

Well, Hiram, I find it interesting to hear you complain of my choice of defender. Our last game had you whining about having conscripts, so as a result, you bought a flak division's worth of 88's while your infantry huddled in the bottom of their foxholes! Your game skills were limited to hitting the "Go" button and complaining as I overran your crunchies...the only time you perked up was when 8 or 10 of your flak guns decided to play tag with my tanks. Now promise me to send more than one turn a month. Croda sends turns more often... Speedbump edit: {fargin' UBB} [ August 22, 2002, 10:33 AM: Message edited by: Speedbump ]

dalem, if I might give several suggestions for the situation. pi) Use your fireplace whenever the temperature drops below 72 degrees (farenheit for you international gits) or when the prevailing winds would push the smoke in his direction. last but not least) On Sunday, invite Joe and all the other Minneapolis Pooligans over for a cookout. Make sure that you set up the lawnchairs on the grass the city laid. And while you are at it, fire up the fireplace. firstly) Water your yard...a lot. Oh yeah, and light your fireplace. I am sure these friendly suggestions should put you on the path to reconciliation with your "neighbor"! Speedbump

Clearly Joe, at your advanced age and physical infirmities, you forget the need for unbridled lust and passion...as such, we can assume that you will, in fact, not need the assistance of a Stenographer! Speedbump

Remember my point of keeping the men focused? Well Joe, we all know that you sleep through most of the trials you adjudicate, so you have no need for the Stenographers. As a juror, I need something to keep me focused during the low level drone that is Spnkr's "presentation". Speedbump

One moment young fellow. As lead defense counsel, I have some, err, needs that override your wanton carnal desires. In other words, in the interests of the notions of fair play and substantial justice, the Defense counsel demands first choice. Steve</font>

Well Roxy, as a Lady-in-Waiting, you may not understand the role the Stenographer plays in the trial. You see, they do wonders in focusing the attention of the jurors on what is most important in trial... I call first choice!!!! Speedbump

dalem, I am sure all of the other Minneapolis Pooligans are real happy that you opened your mouth... Speedbump

MrSpnkr, you always get that wrong! It is "Ker Dessel - when you are drunk enough to play anything..." Speedbump
