Hi, Thanks (in advance) for your help. The drivers I am using are the ones from the NVidia site - ver23.11 IIRC, pretty recent. These were installed by our sysadmin (I run CM at work as well as home - at home I have a GeFroce II and no problems). Anyway, it could be a conflict with other programs like you say. I leave my PC on all the time as it is a source for some file sharing at work. The problem actually seems to have fixed itself after I did a reboot (involuntary ), so here's hoping it remains stable for a while. Thanks again, Andrew Tiffany

more FYI: The machine is a PC, running Win 2000 professional.

Hi all, I am having a problem with some of the movie files from PBEM turns. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem before. There are two ways in which this problem manifests: I) sometimes when I hit 'play' on the movie controls, the counter skips to some weird negative time number (like 0:-65535) and starts counting towards 0:00. Some units on the map move, but do so in straight lines, and not in accordance with the orders they had been given, even dissappearing off the map edge. If I hit 'start' (as in 'back to start of movie') it *sometimes* fixes itself, goes back to 0:00 and plays normally. II) sometimes when I hit 'play' the timer skips immediately to the end of the file (0:60 sec) and no matter what I do it won't show me the file as you would normally expect (one second at a time). Using 'back' and 'fwd' I can see parts of the file at 10-sec intervals, but it's almost impossible to figure out what is going on. In both cases, these things happens irregularly, but if it happens once to a PBEM file, then it keeps repeating the same thing every time I try to look at that file. Other files *might* work OK. In the case of situation #1, it happened once before and a complete CMBO reinstall seemed to fix it. Situation #2 didn't get fixed by a reinstall which I did this morning. FYI, I'm running a 450 MHz chip, with 192 Mb of Ram, and using a Viper 770 video card. I had been running everything in CMBO successfully for several months, this problem has only just come up, and nothing has changed with my computer system (no hardware or software changes). I also have that known problem with the white text not showing up correctly, but I know what causes that and am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the current problem. Help? Cheers, Andrew Tiffany
