Hi I just got this weird bug in WinSPMBT:
This is the second PBEM game I'm playing with a friend, and after we've both moved on turn 1 we keep getting the message "Security - Player 2 has already played this turn?" and the save won't load at all.
I've never seen this error before, and it seems quite illogical as an error - I mean, *of course* player 2 (which is me) already has played the turn, and it's now player 1s turn! 
Any ideas what might cause this message? We are playing scenario 103 Chess France 1952, france vs france, and we both use windows XP - if that helps.
regards,
Stian

Actually - on deeper investigation, I will need to reword this security message, as it arises when:
a) it is player 1's orders phase
and
b) The current path to the game EXE differs from the original saved player 1 path to the game EXE
b can arise from:
- trying to play the game in a different installation of the game
- Trying to play on another machine
Both of which are end-user errors in trying to go around the requirements for a PBEM game.
- or (possibly) something - another programme would be the culprit - changing the current working directory. Did you have anything else running?. That one is an outside chance really.
The error message should really be "Player 1 is trying to play this turn in a different directory from the original one he started the game in" (or something shorter to fit the error message box
!!)
