Well I just installed the program and ran it. The first thing I noticed is that the image/view is way oversized for my screen. Most of the startup image is not visible!

After the program stops loading, I get the message:

"Wave out open MMSYSTEM004 The specified device is already in use. Wait until it is free and then try again."

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Brian, I just saw your message. What screen resolution are you running? The game runs in 1024 by 768.

The sound library is third-party and I haven't seen that error before but it may be related to the screen resolution which may be causing an error and then the library loads improperly. Just a guess. Any chance you can change your screen res to 1024 when running the game?

Please attach a DirectX Dialog file.

Hi Frank,

I re-sized the screen and that helped with the screen size issue, but I am still getting the other error message.

I'm not sure what Marc is talking about when he says "Please attach a DirectX Dialog file." Is he talking to me?

Frank, do you think you will add the miniatures option to your other campaign softwares? I think that is a fantastic idea! I can't wait to try this one!

I saved the DirectX file, how do I attach it?

Brian

Yep, I was meaning you, sorry for beeing not specific here.

When you hit on "Post Reply" you will have the option to "Click here to upload!" , it´s the fourth row I think. Clikcing on that brings up a pop up where you browse to the specific file on your hardrive.

Ok Marc,

Here it is!

Thank you for your help!

I just bought the download myself. I am having the same error message (MMSYSTEM004 etc...). Just wondering if a solution was found.

Thanks.

Hi, your sound chips driver is very old, please update to the latest version and see if that allready helps.

Can you also please attach a DirectX dialog file.

Hi Marc,

Can you tell me how I update that driver?

Also, the program has pretty much quit working for me. Now it does not show any units and if I move around the map eventually it is overrun with black boxes.

I even tried re-installing the software to no avail.

Brian

Here is the DirectX file.

Thanks for the help.
