My command line looks like this:

"E:\Games\War In The Pacific AE\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1680 -py1050 -deepColor

I think I recall reading somewhere that if the X:Y ratio is wrong then you're not going to get it working properly.

This is true. Spaces and lack thereof on the command line also need to be correct.

And don't copy paste from the info file.  It has the wrong "-" character imbeded and that will cause the command line to fail.

AI. I did a week of turns yesterday, which would have taken a week against a PBEM partner. No thanks.

My mom's computer refused to boot past the POST screen yesterday. I went into setup and found that the BIOS had reset the date to January 1st, 2002. Much weirdness.

If the computer is a little older, the battery for storing the BIOS settings may be running out.
