A pair of technical questions
 

Here they go:

1-I have a friend that has installed the game on a laptop (an "old" one with w98 and maybe a 300mhz processor) and he says that when he has been playing dominions2 for about 5 minutes, the computer shuts down.No crashes, no frozen system...power shut down.It seems that only happens when he is playing the game.Any clue about what can be the problem?

2-Im preparing a pbem game with my friends and my brother also wants to play, but we only have 1 computer here at home.So can we play the same pbem game in the same computer with the same game copy? Or maybe we need a new doms2 copy and make a second install on my computer?

I dont think you can play a pbem with some players with same cd-key...

It should be logic to be able to do so.You can play 17 players in hotseat because they are all in the same computer, so why not 2 players in the same computer in a pbem game?

In PBEM it tracks your CD key so you are unable to play PBEM with the same CD Key. I think this is because of some sort of 'cheating' workaround issue. Though I could be wrong.

My laptop has had problems with playing Dom2 as well. Mostly I think it's a graphic or video card problem, as my particular laptop has specific drivers as opposed to general PC ones. It does work but it has a lower framerate than my PC (PC has about 75+, Laptop ~25) but I could only get it to work in Windowed mode and by using some of the information found in the technical thread about laptops.
