Info: Windows 7 *GUARANTEED* fix

[oracbob]

Hi,

I have tried the fixes recommended here, including the ones from IMP, Nitro and NCrawler - all to no avail. I seem to have a slightly different problem. I can get the game to load and run ok but am unable to save a PBEM game.

I went back and completely deleted everything and reinstalled the game from the CD reloading all the patches (in order). This generated the same issue - game loads Ok.

The game plays Ok as well and I can run the PBEM turns sent to me perfectly well. It all looks good until the end of the turn and then once the game has completed its routines, only the .cmt file is updated. the .dat file vanishes.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a Dell Inspiron Laptop XPS L701X - Quad 4 Core 8 threads, 16GB Ram and its 64 bit. I am suspecting the 64 bit thing might be an issue as that has caused us a few issues with the software we use at work as well.

Note also that the widescreen update for this game hasn't worked for me - I ended up with the fuzzy odd coloured graphic issue. I then uninstalled everything and reinstalled it and ended up back where I started.

I don't have any XP machines left either unfortunately.

Any way - has anyone else come across this particular issue?

Cheers
