OPART-CW and WinXP

[Robert]

I have trouble with my OPART installation in XP-environment. Ranged artillery doesn't show up in the 'Support' section in the "Plan a battle" dialog (guess if that is a handicap ), and the message dialogs doesn't behave properly. Is this known problems? I have the same trouble on two different computers and I have tried installing the 1.04-patch to no avail. OPART 300 behavs better though. There I get to use my artillery at least!

I have the same problems with all Talonsoft's war simulations (ACOW, EF gold, WF gold, as I have) .... the popup menu and windows were often in wrong places and sometimes not updating, sometimes not responding, sometimes, even worse, simply disappears.... I guess you probably just need to learn to live with that

I guess this XP-problem was already asked and solved a few hundred times

1) right-click at the OPART link in your start menue.
2) select properties
3) in the pop-up window select compatibility
4) choose to run the programm in Windows2000 compatibility mode

(make sure that you have the latest ACOW 1.04 patch installed)

everything should work now as desired.

Shame on my ignorance (and I thought I would just LIVE with that
