Ok it is not an issue of WinME, or any OS. Ok a few things, do you have the newst version? If not well it came out like last week. Also make sure (if you do have one) your firewall is told to let it run. I know every time I patch OFP I have to tell my firewall to let it run. If I don't I crash. There are also special protocalls such to allow in the firewall ex says TCP/IP. If you don't have DX8.1 go ahead and d/l it. While you are at it update your 3d card drivers.... LOL I don't have complete details of your problem so I am spitting out a ton of ways it can be fixed... Last go to config, set as default... Reconfig can help... That LAST thing to ever do is re-install OFP.... :+) If needed feel free ICQ 63230961 or email DESTROYER@game-developer.com
