Thanks YankeeDog - now I can charge ahead in relative safety. lol..

Can you expand on the advice not to use MS outlook, I use it all the time for PBEM (10 - 20 times a day) without ever having a problem, at least I don't think I have problems?

I checked the CMAK manual without success, so here is my question: I see an enemy flag, and after firing HE in the general area the flag vanishes (No smoke or cries from the area), does this mean I did in fact knock him out ?? I am certain he did not move and pop-up in another place because it was a gun in the middle of rough terrain. Thanks in advance.........

I checked the manual etc, but could not find a satisfactory answer to this question - Is it worth using HC charges from an Axis Puppen-thingamijig against MGs and infantry in a building? Or does this heat charge not work to well unless it hits a steel plate ??

AhHA !! problem solved - - after installing the Linksys firmware update everything worked like charm, in fact my downloads and Internet page downloading speeds have become significantly faster (and they were pretty fast before). Thanks for the comments, hope this story might help someone else.

I looked around, but I am in very unfamiliar terratory, it's like a foreign language to me all these strange words and initials. I did update the firmware succesfully and found a FAQ that tells me to force NIC to 10Mbps and disable proxy in the browser. I have not figured out where these things are yet??

Yes I did, it seemed very easy and straightforward..

I just found out that this problem only happens when I am using my Linksys Router. If I connect directly (By-pass the router) everything is fine. Does this give anyone other ideas ?? I tried the Linksys FAQ, nothing turned up

For some time now I have been having problems downloading files from the internet and was wondering if anyone out there could figure out how to solve the problem. For instance I am trying to download a Mod file from CM mod site (Grass grid for CMAK), the download start fine at a good 80 - 100 kb/sec, then slows to 50kb which is still OK. But after about 30 seconds the download stops. Window freezes at the speed and time left. I use Windows 2K and internet explorer, this problem is not limited to any particular web-site. I think it goes wrong after a certain period of time has elasped. Anyone got suggestions??

Darn, Darn, Darn!!! - I have a business trip to the UK on May 25th and the 26th is a "Free-day" so will miss the 24th events, but I assume a trip to the museum on 26th will be worth the drive from London. I remember visting this museum with my dad when I lived in England about 40 years ago - he "Bored" me with his stories as a tank driver and leg wounds received in WWII - Oh how I wished I had been more attentive to him back then.

Yes, I guess I should do the obvious, but it has been working just fine like this for many months. Why would it start to act up now?? Time for a new and faster Mother board I suppose..

I have been playing CM games for ages without any problems, now CMBO game just shuts down occaisionally when I either set a way point or use the scroll arrows. Anyone got any pointers on how I can start to trouble shoot this. I got Windows 2000, Ge force 4200 with the very latest drivers, Athlon 2600+; 147FSB giving 1685 Clock speed. 512 MB memory on a K7S5A MB

I would like to try this battle "TottenSonntag", but can't seem to find it in the usual places. Where can I download this please?

Just installed the 56.55 Nvidia drivers on my Win 2K system with Samsung SyncMaster display Wow !!- the increase in picture quality in Combat Mission game is really significant with AA and AF both at 4X. Now it is even more fun sneaking around at ground level.. Dare I try higher than 4X ??

Possible spoiler for the "Omars" - if you read the replys................ ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Anyone got tips on how to get through the second battle in the Scenario "Omars", I have tried a dozen times and can't get anywhere with it....

Ghz !!, I mean Mhz of course..

In my own personal experience with this slowness problem the CPU speed had a significant effect. I don't have statistical data or real apples to apples comparisons, but I am absolutley sure that when I upgraded my CPU from an 850 to 1695 Ghz operating frequency the game speed increased enormously. I did nothing else to memory or anything else and now even the largest of Tank battles run in less than 2 minutes.

Well that's what you would think, it did work on two mines a few turns ago with different engineers, but since then I tried 4 turns now and nothing is happening. Could they be too close ?? risk of injury, I did try to move them back from 10 - 15 meters, still they won't demolish the mines ??? This is happening to 5 sets of mines in the game I am playing against the AI.

Any one know what would cause engineers to sit around looking at anti-tanks mines for 3 full turns without trying to destroy them, not under fire and have full weapons, sachel charges etc are available.

The game loads and we get the screen to choose a resolution which has just one choice 680 X 440 ??. If I try to skip to another the program stops, If I choose this low setting, I can see that the screen has changed to this setting for a very short time, then all goes black, but music is playing. The card is a Raedon somthing (don't know what right now but can find out), and the desktop is set to 1024 X ??? when running normal windows progs.

I tried to run CMAK Demo on my machine at work (XP) to show a friend how good the game is and he should get it. Well, it installed OK, but then came the part where CMAK needs to recognise the display being used, it could not. A little bit of research revealed that the diplay is a "Generic" Plug& Play LCD monitor by Planar systems. I called the manufacturer and was told that there is no driver available - it just uses Windows system ???? Does this sound like a reasonable explanation, can it be solved ??

Hi WWB - I Emailed you 4 turns where you can see that various knocked out 2 pounder guns "Vanish" into thin air after a few turns, eventually all disappear in the after battle map view.

No Spoiler here; I just got through playing "Two Pounders and Tigers", I was axis and won against the AI. I then went to the map to take a look around, I wanted to see the two pounder guns and their positions - guess what, not a single gun to be seen, plenty of other stuff I had killed or captured, but not a single gun? I had knocked some out during the game, so knew exactly where they were, but nothing to be seen ?? Can anyone explain this ?

I just installed an Athlon 2600+ CPU (Xmas Present !!) and all is working fine. Will this extra CPU power(Was 850MhZ)speed up anything in CM games such as "Loading graphic files" which takes some time in CMAK, or computer "Thinking" and game play calculation time. I don't have any hard data, but the new faster CPU does not seem to make any difference to the time to complete these tasks?

This might be a spoiler - unless you have played "Ambush" in CMAK - - - - - - - - - Anyone have any pointers on how to beat or even draw as allies against AI in this scenario?? Each time I play the battle turns into a one-sided tank battle with the superior Axis machines popping up in large numbers and killing Allied machines at will. The carriers and troops given to Allies don't even get a chance to fight against these Axis monsters -at least not in my 4 or 5 attempts. Thanks from a "Very Slow-Learner"
