Thanks for the responses. Running WindowsME and got a Geforce card. I figured that it was a problem with files getting corrupted in transit. But it's probably better to blame it on the OS. Next time it happens I'll reboot.

Just a question about a slight problem I've had in a few PBEMs and now in tcp/ip. Every now and then I'll get a bug where I don't get any text in the mapscreen. No chat, no text in unit interface, no text when I pull up the hotkey box. I can tell when this is going to happen because the password sign in box always has a weird neon green rather than the normal color. In PBEM it usually clears up after an exchange of files or if I get my opponent to re-send the last file. It doesn't render the game unplayable, it kinda enhances the old FOW, but in tcp/ip it renders the chat unusable, which is a problem. Anybody else seen this problem, and if so, know how to prevent it? Thanks.
