Won't Open

[JohnS]

My wife ordered the Deluxe Edition with disk, mouse pad, map etc.

Beginning two days ago, I installed but when I get to the "Play" button I hit the button and nothing happens. I have updated all drivers. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I downloaded the 1.05 patch and installed it.

Consistent problem is that I get the screen offering, among other things, "Play" and when I hit that button, no result.

Note - I have never been asked to enter an activation code or similar step even though the game box comes with a license key. Can that be the problem?

I have been a fan and supporter of Combat Mission for years and would really like to get started. Any help, much appreciated. Incidentally, it's a little disturbing when you have to wait two days just to be able to ask for technical support on a purchased product.

That's weird there should be some sort of activation step. It was quite simple if I recall correctly, but I can't remember the precise "procedure", but there should be some sort of window automatically popping asking you for your activation code when you first install it.

Anyway give them a little break, they are only 7 people or so, and probably want to spend some time with their family.
