CMBB Saving Games Working

[huhr]

Hey Guys,

Last week I was having a problem saving my turns directly into the cmbb\pbem folder during email games directly. So, one day I start my computer (the other day) and my network adapter is unrecognized. Fortunately, I still have my old computer hooked up to the internet. (tip-if you have a old computer keep it around and connected-so handy) and I downloaded the updated drivers to my ethernet card. However, I bought the computer from digital storm and they do a great job with tech problems -called me back and answered a bunch of questions I had. So, I told them I play this old game called CMBB and the problem I was having. Simple solution - Make sure your email client is running as administrator!!! It did work in Vista beforehand and then I did the upgrade to Windows7 and I had the problem. What a simple solution. Now, I can save the game directly into the folder and then I click on the pbem program and it all works.

By the way, for those who use the pbem helper program - I always have to use my password in the game before I enter my turn, I was wondering then what is the reason for having the password in pbem helper then?

Thanks guys for all your help and that's another "tip" I'll have to store in my memory bank along with all the passwords and forum identities, man system overload.

I am off for a few weeks so look me up if anyone wants a direct game.

PbemHelper remembers the password so my guesses are: a] you did not actually type it into Helper just for the game [i have done that myself] b] You did type it in but either Vista or Windows 7 is fussy and preventing it loading
