At least there should be a small utility program that connects itself to a BIS server and checks if there are any updates available. Now it can check which version(s) of OFP you have and which updates you need! Then you can either update directly or download the updates manually.

Do you have any virus scanner installed? Any other running tasks may decrease your system performance. Check your task manager to see if there are any time-consuming tasks.

The most difficult thing is to avoid the patrols. If you watch the patrol ways of the patrols you should be able to sneak in and out without beeing spoted.

I have a Gainward TI4200, Win2000, Detonator 41.09 and DirectX 8.1. No problems...

But remember that some programs which install spyware (e.g. kazaa) may not run any more if you remove the spyware installed by the program. But if you need those programs you can solve this by reinstalling the software (and of course the spyware :-( ). Mister Frag's tip regarding Teamspeak is absolutely correct. Is you have to use TS you shouldn't try to use heigh audio quality since this will result in increased bandwith needed by Teamspeak.

If you have ICQ, TS, (possible) filesharing running during a MP game this will effect your online game (and your internet browser)! All these tools will need bandwith, memory and CPU and you have not very much bandwith with your 56k modem. I don't think that a modem "wears out" from online gaming

Sorry, I have no further idea at this moment. Which operating system do you use (98, ME, XP)? Maybe someone else can help you. If not, you may want to write an eMail to BIS (OFP developers). See this for details.

Hm, nobody forces anyone to buy creative products But we must see, that they had a absolute monopoly in sound cards in "good old" DOS days because they formed the quasi standard for sound cards. So like most former monopolists (like Intel) they still act like they have a monopol (driver support etc.). But I think like in the Intel/AMD case Creative will learn the lesson because of the free market laws.

I have found some posts using the search engine. the search result This post may be interesting for you.

Maybe you should add more details about your system settings. Modem, ISDN card, ADSL, Network card, CPU, graphic card, ram etc. Do you use a firewall? Do you play in the internet or on a local network?

Wesley Clark Would be interesting how they managed it to assign each possible result to one leader .

Maybe India should put some money in their scruffy railroad system (killing hundreds of people every year) and Pakistan should invest in economy rather than building nuclear weapons and playing "you have stolen my toy" like in the kindergarten.

If you can not manage it, you may try to use the "save cheat", because I think the mission maker has forgotten to add some save points . Hold the left shift key and press the "-" key on your keyboard's numeric keypad. Then you can write "savegame" to save your current position. But remember: your old save game will be overwritten. So think before saving. With this little help you should be able to complete the mission, but it's still hard to play.

Your choice mainly depends on whether you like to fight alone or if you prefer to fight with your squad. You can safe your men for later missions if you take out the enemy alone before calling for them. If you fight alone, you may take the sniper rifle and and head for the castle. There are many enemy soldiers in the castle and in the village. So if you are a good solo fighter take the plan where you go alone. If not, take your squad and attack the castle. In both cases you should try to overtake the enemies in the castle before they see you.

Only the personal version 3.1.291 and I have the "Add" button in the "program control" tab!

If you don't want to disable your firewall (like me ) you will find this solution useful. If you want to be sure that all works fine you should patch your resistance and then add the resistance exe file manually in Zonealarm. Open Zonealarm, goto the "program control" sheet, select "Add" and select the "FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" in your installation folder. You should also make this step in the future if you patch the game. With this 2 things you shouldn't have any problems with OFP and Zonealarm.

It would also be good if you defrag your hard disc.

Since this is a frequently asked question you will find very much information if you use the forum search engine or if you take a look on the The Avon Lady's FAQ (search for screenshot). Here is a link to the forums search result for screenshot AND program: Search Result. I think you will find what you need.

Maybe you should take a look in the windows task manager to see if there is a program or process that may be a part of your new sound card that causes the message of the OFP copy protection. If you can find a program or process you may try to stop/end it and then try to run OFP.

The GOTY edition is definitely a good choice. You will get 3 campaigns, lots of SP missions and thousands of user made missions. I own OFP, Red Hammer and OFP:R and I have never regret one cent. Bugs: The only bug that ever really upset me, was the "weapon carry on bug" in the OFP:R campaign. But this bug has been fixed. I never had any hardware problems. Yes, the missions are sometimes hard. But that's mostly a training thing. You will have some problems first. But everyone had problems playing the first missions. I remember trying to finish the OFP demo mission one day But you will like the complexity of the missions! I would buy the GOTY edition if I don't already have OFP + addons.
