SympXfan Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Just bought the CMBB Special Edition, loaded it, and when i go to select scenario screen, i get a blue-error screen and the system reboots. Error screen does not stay up long enough for me to read it. Anyone have a similar problem and know how to fix it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Delete the pref file and try again, selecting a different refresh rate. Are you selecting a resolution that your system can handle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympXfan Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Aye, my system should be able to handle it, Athlon XP2000, G-force 5200 128mb card, 512 ram, 19 inch .25 dot monitor. It ran the CMBB regular just fine, saw the special ed. for $10, so got it for the xtra scenarios, mods and stuff. Deleted regular edition before i installed special edition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 If you install the 'regular' edition will it still work with your current setup (you may want to reinstall it again - at least temporarily) ? You may also want to delete the Special Edition install and reinstall it (but perform a CHKDSK first to make sure there are no file system problems). You have to use the Special Edition CD in order to play CM if you install that version. The method of copy protection is different and thus you have to use that CD when playing the Special Edition. Did you apply any patches before running the game or did you just run it as it was installed from the CD ? I can't recall off-hand, but the Special Edition may be version 1.03 of CMBB and thus probably doesn't need a patch if you did apply one. I'm not sure if Event Viewer will catch a BSOD or not. You can check it out at Start Menu > Control Panel > Administrative Tools control panel > Event Viewer > the System or Application category may have a listed event for your crash. I'd also highly suggest closing down antivirus programs, internet chat clients and anything else (utilities, etc.) that may be running in the background while you attempt to launch CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
