Turns of ASPK

[PuddlewatchHQ]

Okay, I went to the saved game file in my Alpha Centauri folder and I opened the file up to the point where it says; " You have already played this turn if you proceed beyond this point the other players will receive a message about possible tampering. I just pushed escape to get back to the last menu. I don't understand what is wrong. I know the first time I zipped the file the file name was weird but I thought it was just because I had made a self extracting archive rather then an ordinary compressed file. The file seems to open for me I don't understand what the problem is.

Should I just send the file to Knowhow2 unzipped? Zip it again?

I did run into a problem when I first tried to play this turn. I was trying to see which directory the saved game would play from so I put it into the main folder rather then the saved games folder where I had been putting the saved games as soon as I got theme from Spasmofit. I loaded the game up to the password screen but didnt' go into the turn then I closed out to check the directory I had put the saved game into. I then attempted to open the file again later and it wouldn't let me open the file. I had to delete the the file from the saved game file and then go back to the email and unzip it again. I did this and replaced the file and everything worked fine.

Any ideas on what is wrong? I'm not very good with technical issues.

Okay here is what I did for the 4th try. I deleted all the old files and tried to restore from the email file that spasmofit sent me. I opened the thing up and it said I'd already played the turn and so forth. I repeated the turn and zipped it up and sent it to Knowhow2 again.

I did create a saved games file on my desktop but was unable to select a desktop option for saving the game to. Shrug. Maybe I missed it in the mess of other files.

Here's hoping this fixes the problem.

Sorry about the delay.

Virus alert:

Okay so I did have a virus. JS/seeker.gen virus. It's an old virus from October or so of last year. I have had current dats since then so it must be new on my computer. It's listed on McAffee's site if you want more info. My apologies to all. This is actually the first virus that I've found on my system. If you have updated your anti virus software since November of last year you should be okay as that's when the virus was first discovered.

I've just updated my virus dat files with the September 20 dat files so my system has been disinfected. Again sorry about this.

KnowHow2, I'll send the turn again.

so after a few more problems than you could imagine PuddleWatch and I finally managed to solved everything (well PuddleWatch solved the most since most problems were at his end) the game is finally underway again.
