I solved the problem radically by upgrading to XP. Runs fine now.

<t> Just on the offchance I upgraded the AC97 drivers from gigabyte's website as well. Still no dice...WSOD<br/>
<br/>
FWIW, runs great on my XP laptop, but that's a work machine so it can't stay there. Seems to be stalling in W98 just after whiting the screen and before popping up the first two ...

<r> I did find a file called error.log which had this in it. Is it relevant?<br/>

<t> Upgrading both directx and the drivers didn't help. I'm still getting the WSOD.<br/>
<br/>
Here is the updated dxdiag output--I'd already done directx before the last one.<br/>
<br/>
Sooo...what's the next move? Any way to get diagnostics out of EAW to see what it feels is the problem?<br ...

Yep, driver upgrade on the way.

As for the memory, that's just typical windows lying right at you. There's 512M in it all right.

<t> Urrm..I was mistaken about the graphics, it's Sis onboard. Nevertheless, I don't have any problems with other games.<br/>

I don't know how to attach files, so here's the output of dxdiag--warning, super copious. I also ran all the dx diagnostics, everything passed for the 7, 8 and 9 ...

Well blow me down--after being hung for ten minutes, it's come back with an error '1024x768 not supported'

This is ridiculous; it's the most common screen resolution in the known world.

So what is the issue here?

<t> Just downloaded and installed the game on W98SE, machine is 1.5GH/512 RAM with nvidia drivers known to run all the Total War games (which are reasonably picky) and WPO.<br/>

Result: system is hung at this white sceen--splash screen maybe?<br/>

I can't reboot it right now because ...

<t> I've just reread Shelby Foote's excellent history, and it strikes me the leadership model seems a little oversimplified. I've also been poking around with the old 'Sumter to Appomattox' game, which seems to have been the first serious attempt to tackle this in a game.<br/>

But following the GPW thread, it looks like it's PBEM only since the AI can't deal with it.

So what is the real skinny?

Anyone had trouble with lock-ups in WPO? Anyone know what might be causing it?

System is W98SE, which OK, is old and ancient, but is supposed to be supported.

And another thing--there doesn't seem to be any routine convoy system, so how the X+#$ do I get more supplies and fuel to Manila??? I'm down to 6000 and have no idea when or whether more turns up on this little map...

<t> Hi there,<br/>
<br/>
Been having a look at the Clash of Titans scenario for a few evenings and still trying to work out what's going on.<br/>
<br/>
One thing that puzzles me is how some land units in the big stacks at Bataan and Manila have adequate support and others don't. One thing that's ...

Hi,

I've just purchased WPO and I'm looking for the tutorial mentioned in the manual--not in the download or the CD (which is the download

So--where's it at???

<t> It's pretty weird all round. In a campaign I just completed, I had three air combat TFs--1, 6 and 8. This is too many, I know, but I tried disbanding TF8 and Allied TFs raided the port the very next turn and blew the shit out of it..so I reassembled it with what was left plus reserves, and sent ...

Does pacwared21.xls still work with the 3.2 version? Is there a working editor around somewhere if not?

<t> For me it's the enormous satisfaction when the plan comes together, you bounce the enemy TF, get critical hits and send key units to the bottom. Or it's the horror when things go dreadfully wrong, leaving you to figure out how the hell to sort out the mess...<br/>

<t> I'm seeing the same thing in DOSBOX but not running PAC directly under windows. Unfortunately, in the latter situation I'm seeing the Out of Memory problem, so I'd rather get dosbox to work nicely. Haven't found a way to fix it yet, though.<br/>

It looks like PAC is changing the video ...
