Hmmm...jimbuna, how did you get around it?
Or did the problem just go away after a while? (Did you just not play for a few months and then, one day *poof* it worked again? ... Wonder if it's a Windows system change..hmmm..)
I've checked, cleaned, re-installed 7 times.
It's like my machine has simply said "I'm NOT going on another of those horrbile north-atlantic patrols again! ...Go play something else!"
I do sometimes run the sim to the point that my wife thinks it's a noisy screensaver...
But I'm cheesed off beyond all reason, now, as I put many,many hours, days, weeks in playing, tweaking mods, recording sound files, and painting the occasional sub, ect...you know. Now that is all useless.
(NOTE: Command line and Admin and compatibility running has failed, also. I'm trying everything and anything you guys throw at me to get my sim back!)
