I came across a review of SPWaW in Tom's Hardware. I've tried unsuccessfully to download from the gamesguide website and am wondering what the problem is. I have a cable modem and am running Zone Alarm.

Does anyone know of another way I can get this game?

Tanks!

Go to top of page, go to DOWNLOADS, shut off your firewall and virus checker and you should get a good download.

Aye, aye, Chief. I'll give it a go. BTW, what was/is your rate? I was a Data Processing Tech.

Chief,

I turned off my antivirus, the firewall, the pop-up stopper, and my messenger. I went to the download page and picked the first URL (I tried the second URL but it is not available). Towards the bottom of the page that opens up from the first URL, I found the different sites from which to download. I clicked all the different county's sites and received a "page not available" error on all of them.

Do you know of any other resources from which I could get the game?

Thanks,

Boltman

Boltman: I was an AT prior to that an AL (ARM)

Just tried the 2nd link and it was AOK, it might have been busy. Try again and I'll check back in AM to see how you done.

Chief, here are the two links I have tried from. Neither of them ever work for me.

http://www.gamesdomain.com/directd/3281.html

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/gamesdo ... e-v7-1.zip

I'd love to play the game, but I need access to the software.

Thanks,

Boltman

I'll keep trying Chief. I'll do whatever I have to do. Heck, I'm willing to send someone some money, so that they will burn me a CD and send it back to me.

Look up Les the Sarge he's got a deal on burning copies that will turn you on. He's loaded a CD with everything but the Megas and the proverbial kitchen sink. He's on the forum somewhere just PM him. That should get you rolling....by the way were you a lifer ?

No, I wanted to be though. I got caught up in the RIF back in 1993, when Clinton was in office. I got frocked to E6 one month before the RIF happened. My only choice that was given to me was a 12-month unaccompanied tour in Bahrain. I was a newlywed, and felt that my marriage was more important. In hindsight, I should have taken the unaccompanied tour, as I got divorced three years later. I spent almost a year in school, 3 years onboard the USS Enterprise and 3 years at a joint command at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque.

I ended up going back to college, getting a BS degree, and am now working as an IT Manager at Los Alamos National Labs.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look up Les the Sarge and see if he can help me out.

Next month I'll have been retired 35 years from the war canoe club. Yeah I know what you mean about family separations I had a few deployments in my time. Monthly stipends help a lot now. If you have any problems finding "les the sarge" drop me a PM and I'll help you somehow.

Even after deactivating security measures, you appear to have had difficulty accessing download URLs. Check your internet connection, experiment with different browsers, and see if there are any site maintenance issues effecting the downloads.GB whatsapp Apk
