Try launching the game whilst holding down "ctrl"..this launches the options menu. Disable videos to make it work.
I also find that running the game windowed makes it more stable.

....still not working.

Any progress....???

Sotamaris...thanks for the advice but that didn't work either. I'm really starting to regret buying this game at all....

I've also noticed that several copies of "ccnormanrez" (or similar) are running on task manager slowing my pc down.

<r> See example....<br/>

DxDiag as requested....

Where is my DxDiag file...?

The error appears when I try and run the game after installing. It accepts the serial code whilst installing.

Yes....copied and pasted from email.

Thanks Oddball....much appreciated! I just wanted something to play on my time off from work! Oh well, I still might get chance...don't start for another 12 hours....

<r> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I successfully paid for and downloaded the game, and installed it without error, using the serial code emailed to me.... however, one I try and run the game I get a message called ERROR CODE 18 along with an explination that my serial code may have problems!<br/>
<br/>
I ...

Thanks.

So how does, say, a 4 player PBEM game work? Does player 1 email player 2....player 2 emails player 3 etc....?

...i see. Not particularly fast-paced action then!?

Many thanks for answering my questions, if you ever want an easy victory feel free to get in touch!

...one final stupid question.....is "Hotseat" simply sharing a single computer...?

Ohhhh....I see. Not actually ever linked to the opponent then? Im a first time PBEM-er....

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

"even steven" folder.... "2 roads" scenario. I don't ever have an option to select/email my opponent.

If i select "anti pbem cheat" and select 2 x human player it just starts the game with me being able to control both teams.

Both? is it possible to play a LAN game...?

How can I play a multiplayer game when there is no multiplayer option on the menu!? Please help.
