Sounds like you don't have dialup networking installed. Just run Windows setup and install dialup networking and it'll probably work. You shouldn't need TCP or anything fancy like that unless you were gonna play across a lan.

Did you reboot afterwards? You have to reboot for something like that to take effect.

Yep rebooted, dial up networking was there anyway. I just tried to re-install and upgrade with the patch , same problem!! Can't get past it

What Version of Windows?

pitt23 · #7 June 20th, 2002, 06:46 AM

Windows 95

My advise, uninstall the game. Delete the old folders, reinstall the game, download a new Version of the latest patch. Patch it. Should work. I had this happen before and that fixed it.

Thanks for the advise deathstalker

Did try that very thing, didn't delete all folders though.................

Here is a dumb question....

Would it matter if windows is on one drive and se4 is on another????
