Mr. Clark Posted October 15, 2000 Share Posted October 15, 2000 Hiya guys! I know this is the wrong forum, but I thought maybe someone here could help me! The problem: I talked a friend into purchasing CM... He has a PII 450, Voodoo 3 Whenever he tries to start the game, it asks for screen res, and then says "PLAY FROM HARD DRIVE?" in a box... he clicks OK (the only thing possible) and it crashes to desktop. Any help? I have a Voodoo 2 and the game works fine for me... so I'm having trouble helping him. EDIT: I've done all sorts of searches, and come up empty handed. Thanks!

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 15, 2000 Share Posted October 15, 2000 First, make sure he has installed it properly. then, make sure he is using the shortcut that points to the HD, not the CD. If he is trying to play off off the CD, he will experience symptons like you describe. Voodoo3s run fine. I've used one since the game came out with no problems at all. His probelm is in where he is trying to play the game from (i.e CD as opposed to HD). Hope this Helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Clark Posted October 15, 2000 Author Share Posted October 15, 2000 LOL!!! Me too! Especially when the story starts with my friend saying "Why did you talk me into buying this game! It doesn't work!" ...and ends with him saying "This game rocks!!!" Heh Heh... little does he know he's about to become a PBeM victim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
