Thank you Riitaoja for your informative answer! I only had to download the SPWAW and install it to my Windows8 computer. It worked and it worked also after I upgraded to Windows10.

<r> Hello again [:'(]<br/>
<br/>
It was about 10 years ago I was playing SPWAW and it's relatives. I still have SPWAW version v8.403 on my Acer Aspire One mini laptop with WindowsXP and Linux. Now I found a friend who is interesting in tactical war gaming (and the history of WW2) but she has never ...

The enemy cannot have minefields in the kind of battle you described. You don't need any engineers.

Unfortunately I can not check the exact values, becouse my WindowsXP/SPWAW combination has also ...

<r> I bought an army by 7500 points. I left some troops on a village. After 1-2 turns I noticed that one platoon in a stone house was routed, the suppression value was high. The video did not show anything special having happened there. The other platoons nearby had suppression of zero. There were ...

"Enhanched SPWAW" - my opponent and I we bouth have version 8.403. Is there still a more modern/better SPWAW somewhere?

<r> Thank you very much for explaining me in detail the security system. <br/>

Some time ago I tried to install Fedora Core Linux to my computer (beside WinXP). The result was that my computer chrashed totally and I had to install everything again, except SPWAW what I found on some partition ...

one of you using Enhanced maybe and the other one isnt?

Were could I get "Enhanced SPWAW" without the credit card? My wife does not allow me to have a Visa, for some reason she thinks I will lose it somewere[:(]

<t> When I start SPWAW I always get the same message: "Override security warning and continue?". And after starting the game I have to read all the time "Security violated. Player 1 OOB file corrupt." Bouth my opponent and I are honest and fair players. Why have I to face those messages? We bouth ...

What do you think about SPWW2 or the new WinSPWW2?<br/>
I like them but recently play even SPWAW.<br/>

The foggyness (is that a correct english word?) is probably caused by the fact that LCD-screens has a fixed number of pixels, for instance 1400x1050.

I changed my old CRT display to new LCD ViewSonic VA902. Altough other games like WinSPWW2 look good, SPWAW is foggy (I do not mean the fog-of-war[:)]).

Does it help if I install SPWAW again?

<t> I bought War Plan Orange boxed at a price of 77.39 EUR. The nice looking box came. There was the CD inside but nothing else. Not any greetings card, not to mention some kind of tutorial[:-]<br/>

In the manual included in the CD on the page 15 you can read that "The Tutorial Guide ...

An other frend had an install.exe wich succesfully created SPWAW 7.1 for me. Happy End!

<t> I have two versions of SPWAW running well. I would like to uppdate to 8.40, but it depends of my PBEM fellows. When some of them uppdates to 8.40 I hopefully soon have three SPWAW's, 8.20, 8.30 and 8.40 and wanted to have 7.1 also, but it seeems to be impossible.<br/>

I guess that the ...

Why don't you just download a fresh 8.3 and update to 8.4,

I started this thread becouse "A frend of mine wanted to play SPWAW with me but in his computer only the version 7.1 runs."

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: KG Erwin<br/>
you already have the vid998.smk? Maybe the problem IS the name of the directory you have 7.1 in. Try right-clicking the mech.exe in 7.1 and find out what the start path is.

<t> A frend of mine wanted to play SPWAW with me but in his computer only the version 7.1 runs. I found 4.5 and the uppdates to 7.1. I did the installation twice but always an error message appeared: "Can not find VID998.SMK". I downloaded that file from the Nett and after some discussions received ...
