yes... the only prob i am currently experiencing with fulltilt.exe is that it lists the last game twice... ( the game selector lists games on a 2x2 grid instead of all three along the top row.)

are the builds from rcblanke optimized for my processor? as i would like a copy optimized for my system so as to reduce the requirements to get games to run efficiently. and are his builds made from official cvs only (as in no new additions or changes)?

does that close it if the proggie reports an error when exiting? as when playing settlers 2 with the dos4gw replacement it reports a message every time the game is run and as such i failed to find a way to auto close it even with a front end to help. (d-fend)

It's said that some people prefer to play those games with sound. for the sake of clarity this is what i meant... the above post insults thos trying to get sound in the game.... thus i suggested that you may have meant to say... It's said that some people prefer to play those games without sound.
