Oh that nasty Beta, he be one bad puppy!

Actually, my problem was caused by the removal of Trip, Rommel names his saves differently.

This reminds me of an idea I had a while ago - I was going to write a client that manages PBEMs (inlcuding sending out saves) Do you guys think that would be worthwhile?

Moonbars, that would be amazing. I'd offer to help, but my programming experience is entirely back-end, and that doesn't tend to be the hard part. I don't doubt you could make quite a buck putting it out as a share-ware or even donation-ware item here.

Guys.

My C3C install has become corrupt. I've tried a few things to fix it, but it looks like I need to re-install. Sadly, I have left my original C3 CD at my parents where I was playing from over christmas, just reinstalling conquests is not cutting it

Unless anybody can help me solve the following, I am out of action for a few days.

Crashes with a page fault after playing intro movies. Will not go back to desktop, hangs on a black screen. You have to press start button to bring up taskbar and alt-f4 the game icon a few times. Have tried re-installing 1.20 and 1,22 patches, but same problem. Also tried system restore (!)

OK! Moonbars is back in action. I noted in the crash info that it was bombing out when accessing a file called "mp3des.asi" which I simply deleted, and the game started fine. No sound however

[snoopy369]

Sounds like you have the dreaded "sound-crash-bug"... where if I recall correctly the game incorrectly interprets the sound files (mp3s i think) and then gives up while conversing with your sound card (which has WAY too much control over your system, imho, but it's how windows was constructed since the beginning - anyone else remember win 3.1(1) sound related crashes dominating game bug reports for years?

That save arrived at 3:20am

My Email is my MSN Messenger ID - Rommel, if u use MSN as well it might be better to see if I am online and MSN me the save, as my Email has been slow of late.
