Re: Pbem
Your problem probably is that you have windows 7, which is not an officially supported O/S. Windows XP is the latest model in the supported O/S list.
Have you read the windows 7 and vista threads that are posted as stickys at the top of the forum?. In particular, have you installed your game to a folder outside of the windows 7 managed /program files/ hierarchy as seems to be the accepted way to make windows 7/vista not install various files to strange folders on its own whim?.
If not, deinstall your game and then reinstall it under C:\games\WinSPXXX or whatever path you choose for it. Install the patches to that folder as well. Then restart your PBEM games from scratch (to include set up with your opponent), since secure PBEM will not work if the folder route changes, or the game is reinstalled. This should remove your problems with the Windows 7 O/S installing some files under /program files/... and some under /your user folder/... by bypassing the windows 7/vista file management completely .
