This same thing happens to me. And when I hit the play button, at the bottom left hand corner of PBEMH where it says "ready" it flashes checking CMBB, in long form. I do have both games installed in the same directory (not the default one by the way) Could this be the problem? I have checked the path upteen times in PBEMH and the game does start when I click on the top as above. I am about to give up on this feature of PBEMH. Everything else seems to work except the F5 key to save the next file name which does nothing.
Hence my real question. Can someone tell me the correct incrementing of files in Fast/trust since I have to enter them manually? Do you just add one as in a normal game (002 to 003) or is their more to it as I see file names in Fast/trust with something like Game_002(001:something).
Excuse my ignorance and thanks for any advice I can get.
