That I do not know I am afraid. You coul try it if you don't feel like formatting your HDD.

I'll try it and hope for the best, I installed Windows 7 Early this month, seems a little much to reformat already.

Does Win 7, have the same directory issues that Vista had so that you should not let the program be installed to the Programs...blah blah blah directory?

Could that be it? Just a thought! I am still on XP Pro for gaming, I only use Vista Ultimate for my HTPC. Win 7 is just outrageously since I build my own PC's.

I didn't use Vista, so I'm not sure what problem there was. The first install was in program files, I was told there are permission problems with that. So I reinstalled under C:\Games which I created. It made no difference. I downloaded the virtual windows xp mode and am updating it atm.

I don't get it.

I ran the virtual XP mode that Microsoft says fixes all of the compatibility issues, but when I try to run the game it just says cannot run 3d engine. So I thought ok, it needs it's own display driver, couldn't find any compatible hardware to install the drivers. Completely lost any advice?

I feel lucky. my motherboard died. I don't have a gaming computer now. And viola, my CTD problems magically disappeared. I'm on shore leave and am going to the gym and then to a bar.

I'm curious, is there a dev console? When I played Sins of a Solar Empire I could use the dev console to show exactly which file was causing a crash. It would freeze the game to show what the error was, and if possible gave an option to ignore it. If it couldn't be ignored it would mini dump and kept a log so you could find the problem anyway.

IGD do you have an ETA for the new machine yet?

I would do a formatting in an instant. Piece of cake. How many days are since you are tormenting yourself trying to make the game work in WIN7?. It would take you only half a day. Make back-up of your important data on dvd's or an external HDD and then "Ahead Flank"

ETA? ETA? ETA? I cannot afford one for a few months. So I am reading up on sonar, radar, how to attack with map contacts off, celestial navigation, perfect MoBo, and how to intercept targets over the horizon. What I would really like to do in the interim is figure out how to mod. But I don't have a clue and do not know where to begin. If I could mod, I would find plenty to do, including modding GUMS (the x-rated version of Jaws), undersea volcanoes, giant squid a la Captain Nemo, and change a few BBs into rubber ducks that spit fish instead of artillery shells, talk like Daffy Duck and quack instead of sound a siren.

(I think its time for another appointment with the base psychiatrist.)

The thing is it's only SH IV that has any problems. Sins of a Solar Empire, Demigod, Company of Heroes, Command and Conquer, UT, Wolfenstein all work, other than a few tweaks which I found easily online worked fine. I might have to wait for SH V.

Btw @ IGD + Magic, I'm sure you're friends and having fun but I'm looking for help, thanks.

Here's a thing. How big is you HDD?
Take Partition Magic and make a partition on you HDD and install WINXP

. Then install drivers, codes, apps and you set to go

I feel for ya IGD...just got mine fixed, a week with no play...and I chased the JP philippine TF all night..got one Yamato and mad as fire, left the other one dead in the water with many hits, around 10, but couldn't sink it. Even pulled back and put all my DG shells in it.

I hoped some US air would show up, but only JP, so I got right beside it. The JP bombed the Yamato several times, got me a lil once, but still no go. Started smoking, but I knew if it blew with me beside it, I was a goner.

I hang around for 3 days and a large TF shows up...had to be JP. Seem they found me. I went to 600 ft and a dd made a good run and 53%damage. I'm hid out under the Yamato now why 5 carriers go by and dd's look for me...

Guess I''ll head for base when they leave...sure hate leaving it dead on the water.

How do I respond to a shot like that? It's not a shot across the bow, but it close. May I retort?

First, you do not own this thread.
Second, Magic and I are interested enough to follow the posts to see how things work out.
Third, we are not co-opting the thread.
Fourth, you are better off than me, because you, at least, have a chance to load the game at some point. I have none, because at the exact moment that a dd in TMO 1.9 sank my boat, my motherboard found Davey Jones locker. (I always knew Ducimus was out to get me.)
Fifth, I have been lurking because some really smart captain may post a solution and I want to see who and the diagnoisis/solution, as one day I will get a new computer.
Fifth...er, Sixth,

yawn, I am going back to bed. This is too much excitement for one day.

Magic, let's go somewhere else and raise hell (if that is what you would call it?), which is what a sailor does on shore leave (doesn't he?)
