Explain further, you have turned the introduction off - first choice on option screen?

Not related but it would not surprise me if deskktop is also monitored by UAB or whatever its called & moves your files. Never place stuff there so did not think about.

Yes, I turned it off. Per your advice, I originally moved the whole WinSPMBT file to another place in C, and it worked. Then, I loaded a PBEM game, but it was my opponent's password page. I couldn't get out of it, so I Ctl-Alt-Del, which I learned, is a no-no. Didn't work, so I deinstalled it and reinstalled on the desktop. I'll try reinstalling on the C:/ .
Thanks.

1) Don't ever install something on the windows desktop.

2) As mentioned above, since you have changed the path by deinstalling and reinstalling, you will have to restart your secure PBEM from scratch. As in start all over again.

3) If you are learning PBEM then play the first few games as basic mode, not secure mode. Once you have learned the basics of PBEM then you can advance onto secure mode.

The thing is, I can't even get WinSPMBT to even start. No matter how many times I reinstall. Gonna try restarting my computer.

Hi Mark.

You said you've been playing against the AI before,if reinstalling it should still work,don't forget to add patches in order.

I sent you another test game with instructions for a new palyer to pbem,give that a try
