    CMSF won't run on new 64 bit i7 system

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Eddie: I followed your instructions, but I think I already was administrator as there already was a yellow/blue shield logo beside that option. My vanilla install still didn't launch. So, I'll try the suggestions by Schrullenhaft.

    Another question: When I had an XP machine I NEVER put games under PROGRAM FILES. I always created a SIMS folder under C:/ and loaded/installed all my games in that folder. (I did not want to mix up possibly critical windows apps with games, and that way it was easy to find the games and not overlook some game I wanted to delete.) But, is there a good reason that all game apps should be installed in the PROGRAM FILES directory, or is my way of doing things just fine in W7 as it seemed to be in XP?

    And BTW: My i7 / W7 machine is brand new, with new installs of i7 OS and Win7 (not upgraded from XP or Vista etc.).

    Thanks guys.

    Am completely unfamiliar with and rather lost in W7. Where do I "right click" in order to "Run as Admin?" (And what W7 info books does anyone recommend?)

    I'll start with that, and work my way thru your other suggestions.

    My main question was to confirm that the base game should run without any updates, patches etc? So, not having those installed is not the problem?

    (BTW: BTS' new torpedo boat sim demo loaded and ran without any problem at all!)

    How do you use snipers?

    Can one resupply snipers with 50 cal? I note that normal ammo just says "small arms" - which would include 50 cal(?) I think. But, is one supposed to use 7.76? And I read something about the Brits using special 83mm(?) in some rifles. What about that ammo?

    You would think that snipers would be much stealthier/more elite than regular inf. But, as mentioned earlier they die quickly if you use em like recon and move em into harm's way. Did BFC downgrade them so that they were not too effective on the battlefield vs some US doctrine or something?

    Similar with recon troops. They don't seem any better at it than regular inf. It makes CMSF counterintuitive.
