L.Tankersley Posted June 20, 2000 Posted June 20, 2000 So, I got my copy of CM today. I popped in the CD, lookin' good. Opened the README, and I noticed at the top instead of "COMBAT MISSION: BEYOND OVERLORD" it said "ION: BEYOND OVERLORD". "Hmm," I thought, "looks like something slipped by QA." Then I opened the scenario folder on the CD, but only saw about 3 scenario files in it. "Odd," I thought, perhaps they are compressed as data and the installer will take care of it. So I tried to launch the installer. Error: The application could not run due to an error of type -199. Ack! Heart ... pounding! Chest ... heaving! Drama ... building! I did a "get info" on the CM application and my machine crashed. Now I'm seriously bumming. But I kept my cool. I reasoned that maybe the CD isn't defective but it's having problems with my CD-ROM drive. So I checked the CD-ROM Toolkit control panel and saw that the "Fast" option was turned on. I turned it off, rebooted, and hoped. All is well! The CD is fine, the "typo" in the README is gone, installed without a hitch. [i'm on a mac, btw.] So if you have problems with the CD, try a few options and check things before you freak out. Off to win the war! Best regards, ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley
