Default Re: SPWW2 keeps crashing

When I open the game I get a small DOS window that says "Drive not ready error reading drive D" even though there is no disc in the drive; but by hitting "f" (fail) two times the game starts right up. It has been doing that for years. When I put the 'game disc' in the d-drive it starts right up without the small DOS window, going directly into the game. However in both cases the game freezes after only a few moves.

Right now it is (I am) trying to get through the AI turn but freezes in a few seconds. Then I have yo alt-con-del.

I have erased and reloaded the game without effect.

Unfortunately this I-8000 has no virus protections and no internet capability. I use it solely to play Steel Panthers.
V7 is the obsolete and unsupported DOS version, not WinSPWW2 right?.

The DOS versions of SPWW2/SPMBT do not read or require any "game disks".

Are you confusing DOS SPWW2 with the original SSI SP games (which did require a CD in the drive)?.

The only suggestion I would have for you is to do a disk surface scan for bad sectors, since you may have some corrupting the game data.

Cheers
Andy
