..simply won't work.

SPWAW generated campaigns and scenarios seem to work*,
but MC drops to desktop when selecting of units by either clicking on them or with "n" key.

Starting mech.exe directly, deleting .prf file, updating SPWAW to 6.1/7.0 didn't help.
Running in W95 compatibility mode didn't help either.

System is W2000Prof, SP1+2, Compatibility Patch, latest Matrox Drivers for G200, Logitech Mouse with 9.42 drivers .

*There are some re-draw hiccups ..sometimes the screen turns black, but can be brought back by scrolling or klicking a button - or "rubbing" all over the screen with the mouse, so I guess it's a mouse/graphics drivers issue.

Yes, you can thank Bill G. For some unknown reason - NT. W2k and WIN xp do not support the use of command and control in MC's.

SInce it woks fine in non-MC play it is not a code problem that we can tell, but some sort of bug in the NT kernal versions of WIndows. Supposedly the same code should work on all windows versions, but in this case it works in WIN9X/ME, but not the NT based versions.

Re: MC, C&C and W2k .. or NT, or XP

Thanks to your tip we were able to fix [that] !

Great Tip!
