I got a PM notice as well, but didn't get a message. I guess the forum admins caught it.

Dang spammers!

<t> I think "significant" is an understatement. I've made entire landings solely based on the sheer firepower that a number of LCS' can bring to bear. What didn't die was routed. If it couldn't run, it soon died to my tanks and men. <br/>
<br/>
Of course, in real life they were probably very ...

Reportedly, some versions of Win7 will include a VM of WinXP, which may (or may not) help with the lack of Vista compatibility.

My recommendation is a small, cheap USB flash drive to back up the installs of everything you download, any purchased MP3's, and so forth.

<t> Ugh. I'm getting an error with installing Enhanced 2009.<br/>
<br/>
&nbsp;"Cannot install the file Mech.exe into c:\matrix game\steel panthers world at war. Installation aborted.&nbsp;&nbsp; "<br/>
<br/>
And I still haven't found a working utility that slows down my system enough to make my ...

<r> Because I have no functional artillery screen, and can't remember half the interface right now. <E>:P</E> Seriously, I just forgot to bring up UOSU before playing. I tend to do that unless I specifically am loading a game for screen shots. All of the above AAR was played in one sitting. One LONG ...

<t> The link from the depot showed as dead for me. I googled and found a 3rd party site hosting all the patches, including 8.403. Now all that's left is remembering all the nuances of the interface (been WAY too long for me), finding a slowdown utility that works and makes my artillery usable, and ...

<r> Well that sucks...<br/>
<br/>
I had just stomped the French, and was wondering when and if the battle would officially end. I was literally wandering around locating artillery and other rear area units, and organizing the bulk of my forces for no apparent reason, when the game crashed. I don't ...

<t> My second engagement is a success. The Polish troops have again fled, despite significant advantage in manpower.<br/>
<br/>
This time, my losses were a bit more severe. 135 men won't be going home, and 6 tanks are scrap metal now. Three of those men were in my own HQ staff. I managed to kill ...

<t> It took some ass kicking, but I got something moving. I don't know what, but it's moving. I'm far too old and out of it for this. <br/>
<br/>
While the poles opened a gap in my line, neatly wiping out an entire platoon, they have been in constant retreat since. I've ordered an all out assault ...

<t> After only around 20 minutes, we have some data on the effectiveness of Polish armor. Not very. A small group was able to close to within 50 meters, thanks to smoke obscuring the LOS of the nearest flak and panzer units. They very quickly found themselves wishing they were much farther away from ...

<t> After Action Report: Sept. 6th, 1939<br/>
<br/>
Polish forces launch a counter-attack to German rear, my battalion was ordered to hold them for about 2 hours. This was to allow German High Command a chance to organize a substantial response and defeat the main thrust. I decided that my ...

<t> Mine works fine, but it was installed post M$-attempt-to-make-me-downgrade-to-vista. I already had to format to remove that virus from my hard drive, and install a working OS. <br/>
<br/>
Don't buy the patch. At most, reinstall SP, or roll back XP to prior to the hack. That patch is an obvious ...

<t> I just downloaded it myself, and I'm on Firefox. Try sacrificing a goat, or just use a different browser. There's a few out now besides Firefox or IE. <br/>
<br/>
On the other hand, the link to the 8.3 patch is DOA. Gotta find the rest of the patches before updating to the enhanced version ...

No one ever tells you this in school, but you can get used to anything if forced to... like being stacked like firewood in a tin can tank.&nbsp;

It might be my bro's ex's comp is just too much a POS to run anything regardless of OS. It only has 512mb of Ram, shared vid memory. I have an extra 2gb sitting on my desk, but that's what starting drama gets you in my world; no more freebies from me.&nbsp;

<t> I ship a LOT of Acer laptops and monitors out to US addresses (I don't typically deal with International really), so it's fairly common; but a lower end product on the market.<br/>
<br/>
I wish I could help you, but I don't even have a Vista comp to check out. My bro's ex-gf has one, and I ...

<t> WWII, I say probably the T34. While it wasn't perfect by any means, it was cheap to build, fairly effective with the larger gun, reliable, and had the best armor pretty much of any medium tank.<br/>
<br/>
Modern, I'd go with the Israeli Merkava. There is no other tank I'd rather be in when the ...
