We just had a similar post recently and you can find further info in the "No sound " thread on the main forum. Read through that

Basically Vista is "managing" your files in ways that cause the game not to work. The problem appears to be centered around having the game installed in program files. Try re-installing the game outside program files like c:/The Camo workshop/ WinSPMBT.

This seems to solve a number of problems Vista users have had

Let us know if this works for you

Wow the worked - kind of.

I now get the files in the PBEM folder. However, the trouble is, when my opponent tries to play them he gets "Player 1 ORBAT file different or corrupt".

(I am on Vista, but he is still on old Windows.)

Does anyone have any further advice?

Thanks a million for your help so far.
