Way to go. Now if I get the cd we can do a campaign. You looking to get the cd for MBT?

I may have forgotten a tiny important detail so don't do anything until you hear back from me or Andy

Of course!
WW2 is my favorite (WW2 buff) as i play so much of that version.
So had to the first choice.

I was thinking about the OOB's and forgot about the security files so finish the PBEM's you have going first otherwise any secure games will fail

I thought i'd better check first.
Thanks for your help!

Gila,

You don't have to wait before installing the CD, btw - when it asks you to specify the Directory where you wish it to Install, simply amend the pathway slightly: e.g. spww2CD or spww2A or spww2PBEM. You can then start your new games/PBEM campaigns straight away, and continue the PBEMs already in play with your original install.

You might be able to install the CD in a "new directory" and then 'Move' the folders to the new directory? :confused: This should only change the FAT location of those files. Which brings me to another question.

:confused: What is the security based on, file location, file dates, size, or modification?

:confused: Would disk defragging cause any problems for the security?

:confused: Would over-writing the files cause a security problem even if the OOB files were unchanged as original?

I ask, because I'd like to know. It seems like a lot of work to have to play between two installs and then remember which install is for which game! :doh:
