| Post subject: | Problem Installing BGG Gettysburg |
Gentlemen: I need to reinstall my TS BGG program. I have installed the program from the disk. I have updated to 1.34 from the TS patches. I have updated to the Tiller 32 bit version. The program fails to show or allow PBEM. It simply doesn't exist. What am I screwing up here? Any help would be appreciated. I am in the middle of a battle and would really like to be able to finish it. Thanks. Jim Gleason LG 4-2-I AoP |

BTW, I am now using the XP operating system if that makes any difference. J. Gleason LG 4-2-I AoP |

This is new to me to Jim but when receiving a pbem...try this....This might get you closer to what you are looking for. *Open game using BG appication file *Select a module *At Open Dialog, Cancel *Go to Special *Hit Play by email *Go to file in module and open Colonel R.E.Daley 1st Corps of the ANV 3rd Calvary Divsion, 3rd Brigade "We are the Midnight Riders" |

Thanks for the suggestion, but no dice. When I open the program, I do not get the "Special Options" choice which allows the PBEM. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and updated, but I am at a loss. Jim Gleason LG 4-2-I AoP |

Confederate Spies I suspect, attempting to secure a victory. That is a mighty strange problem. I play on the win98 platform, so I have little experience on the xp system. When you look into the program files do you find that the directories/files for pbem or anything like it even exist. Can you save a game without pbem? Do the dates on the files line up all to the time of your most recent install? Just thoughts, but I am also at a loss, although I intend not too lose. MG Michael Laabs 3/III A of M |

Try this: Use the BGG.EXE file to open the program. (NOT the BG_start.exe)Then choose the correct module, i.e. BG. Then continue as Col Daley recommends. <b><font color="gold">Ernie Sands General, Commanding, Army of Ohio

Gentlemen: I have tried your suggestions. I still cannot get to the PBEM function. It does not exist in any drop down menu choices, nor does the Introduction Screen contain a choice for special options. Is it possible that my original disk is fouled? How can the PBEM function simply disappear? Jim Gleason LG 4-2-I AoP |

Jim, Don't take this the wrong way but I believe it just says "Play by email". I send you a screen shot if I can..... Colonel R.E.Daley 1st Corps of the ANV 3rd Calvary Divsion, 3rd Brigade "We are the Midnight Riders" |

Make sure you get your 1.34 patch from here http://www.hc-llc.net/games/patches.html not from Talonsoft. Maybe that's the problem. Lt. General Dirk Gross XIV Corps/AoC
