Schrullenhaft Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I don't know why you're getting that error. According to one source a Type 11 error code is a 'miscellaneous hardware exception error', but I don't know what may be causing it (and I don't know if that is an accurate breakdown for an OS 9.x error). Have you tried deleting the 'Reinforcements 2' in the Units selection screen, saving the file and then attempting to recreate the 'Reinforcements 2' later ? If this doesn't work then I would guess that there is something possibly corrupt about your scenario file. Will it open up and play correctly ? Is this a very large scenario ? How much memory do you have allocated to CM ? Have you tried reducing the number of extensions and control panels that load up ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-installed CM a few weeks ago when this started happening... but no diffrance. I tryed your suggestion its still kills CM. This brings anther problem when I open my extensions manager it frezzes the computer. As for CM memory I have given CM 96mb of my 193mb of Ram.

Schrullenhaft Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Typically reinstalling CM is no big matter since it relies on one primary executable (and a few other associated files for TCP/IP play). Using mods could cause some possible problems, but that should typically occur while actually playing. If you believe that your reinstall is to blame for your problems, then reinstall CMBO to a different directory/folder without modding it. Patch it to 1.12 and give it the 96Mb RAM partition and attempt to create/edit your scenario again. If your extensions manager is freezing up your computer you may be having problems with corrupt OS files or extensions/control panels (as a guess). Maybe you should run Disk First Aid to see if there are any file system problems; rebuild your desktop and boot up without extensions and see what kind of stability you have then. If that doesn't prove useful then you may want to manually and selectively move your control panels and extensions out of the System folder to manage them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted August 27, 2001 Author Share Posted August 27, 2001 One question would haveing Norton system works on effect CM in anyway? Disk first Aid said there were no problems with the main disk (disk with System on it) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I wouldn't necessarily think that Norton Systemworks would affect CM (though an old Norton utility called Disk Light was a problem). I think Norton's biggest effect is that it is a memory hog. As I suggested earlier, you may want to manually remove the optional (third party)system extensions and control panels to see if this has any affect. If you still have problems with the Extensions Manager after this you may need to reinstall your OS (haven't done that in a long time on a Mac, so I'm not sure of the details). If Disk First Aid says that there are no problems on the System disk, then it is most probably correct. You can run Norton's Disk Doctor (or whatever the Mac-equivalent name for the disk utility is) as it may catch a few things that Disk First Aid didn't or won't. For CM, you can delete the CM executable and reapply the 1.12 patch. Delete your prefs file too (though I can't tell what sort of difference the prefs file would make to your specific problem). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted August 27, 2001 Author Share Posted August 27, 2001 I will give that a try. Thanks for your help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted August 27, 2001 Author Share Posted August 27, 2001 I can get the second renforments now but, THis happens when shown in the editor. :eek: This problem has been happening from the time I got 1.12. I don't know may be its a 1.12 bug? [ 08-27-2001: Message edited by: Panzerman ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Are you playing with a modded CMBO ? Maybe one of your resource files has become corrupt or your resource bitmap for the 2nd Reinforcement marker is the same as the 1st Reinforcement marker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 This is why I don't have a Mac. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted August 28, 2001 Author Share Posted August 28, 2001 Problem solved it was the renforments 2 bmp... it was corrupted. And max it was a most likely a downloaded P.C BMP that messed it up [ 08-27-2001: Message edited by: Panzerman ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
