<t> don't know what 'faux numpad' means, but like i said, i can hit a button that toggles part of the keyboard into&nbsp;keypad functions.&nbsp; it just remembering and a hassle to keep hitting the toggle button. also, the keyboard 'M' key is keypad function '0'.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
s'more stuff:<br ...

it would be nice for an alternate keyboard, when one is using a laptop with no key pad.<br/>
<br/>
i do have a numlock, it is just trying to remember to turn it off when trying to use the keyboard.<br/>
<br/>
another nice thing. when starting a new game, under the 'order ...

<t> ok, loaded playersdb.[8|]<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
that clear'd up fuel, arm loadout and ammo at the base.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
still, select carrier, double click ordance button, get carrier's ordance load.&nbsp; select airbase, double click ordance button, get nothing; maybe there's nothing you can do ...

3.9.3.0
&nbsp;
selected air base. double click using f5, nothing, no messages. &nbsp;single click gets the targeting cursor (for refueling, i think).
&nbsp;

<t> ok, so that worked. (except, using laptop, the -+ buttons for increase/decrease time don't work, but do for HCE)<br/>
<br/>
decided to work thru the tutorials. fine until 6- air ops.<br/>
<br/>
air refueler is out of fuel (it's own fuel) and is setting at 60m (Surf), so doesn't crash when ...

<t> not sure...&nbsp;&nbsp; i installed it under 'c:matrix games\harpoon3.....', with hce, which i don't have any problems with.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>

&nbsp ...

sorry rsharp, never&nbsp; came back til now.&nbsp; got the xp to run.&nbsp; this time, after doing each upgrade, i test it, mainly to see where it would started failing. never got another failure
&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<t> load anw on my sony laptop with home prem vista. loading scenerio's menus, using the mouse works fine.<br/>
<br/>
the problem- no keys, 'none' of the hot keys work, function keys, time+-... nothing. shift/control locks are not on.<br/>
tried everything, including compination keys.<br/>
<br ...

yes, i too, i'm doing the save-saveas tango.
&nbsp;

<t> running hcedemo again. giuk5.0. now i had saved at the start of the attack called 'attack' and that brought up another complaint. <br/>
i'll talk about that later.<br/>
<br/>
started attack with swarm of sea eagles, with f16 following. at this point it was obvious soviet radars we're not up ...

aaa...&nbsp; just tried several demo links at different sites and they all say 'site not found'.

that scenerio was in the demo hce and never finished it time limit. bought the hce and can't find that scenerio. would like to try it again, where can i find it.
&nbsp;

<t> hcdemo- f16 outfitted in sead, attacking soviet carrier. along the way, two helicopters in front of the f16s. used a couple amraams to knock them down. but now, when i redirect the f16s to attack the carrier, the attack window says it only has 'guns' to attack with. checked the load out, still ...

<t> pak40- 'this is not even remotely true.' ????<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
how would you know, how about,&nbsp;maybe you've never seen it.[&o]<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
but i had 4 stugs on road, in a forest, and an m10 was picking them off one by one, none of the stugs could see the m10, but all were finally ...

<t> yes, i had already removed it from the computer from the first time i had problems.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>

&nbsp;<br/>
matrix only shows 5 updates. you list 9?<br/>
i'll try reloading it again tonight and send you the results in ...

<t> your description of 'divide group', did that to before, with same anxiety.... but, still remember units popping on to the group window. but as you say, that was a looong time ago..[;)]<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
on the nimrod, there was alot happening at that time.&nbsp; there were bouys tens of miles ...

<t> xp, updated it's self before installing. this is second install attempt. before, game would 'lockup' in a scenario and would have to kill program in task manager. that was almost a year ago.<br/>
<br/>
now. installation had no problems. start the game and decided to do the tutorials. loaded ...

<t> tried re-installing anw, worse than before. starting anw thread.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>

&nbsp;<br/>

<t> twice i have tried to cut lose fighters that were in a formation AAW mission.&nbsp; previous games, the units would pop onto the group window and could take control.&nbsp; now, they don't and when i&nbsp;go to the units window and click on them[font=arial], they have been ordered to land.&nbsp ...
