I Try to play generated map, random map, but when I start there is no map, the screen is black, anything wrong?

I set the options as indicated in the manual, for example
visibility 45
weather 1,
and the number of turns,
but the map comes up black.
when I click, I hear steps, but I dont see anything, there is no map!!

computer buy, computer deploy. I worked once! in 50 tries, am i doing anything wrong?

First of all, name your poison: What's the OS? If Win98 I can give you some tips, WinXP Gmenfan and others will help.

(I do have WinXP on my other machine, I don't use it for WAW because I don't see the need to do so).

It's ok, found the culprit, deleted holder.txt in all the folders as I read in past post and it works fine now.

thanks.

They are the first thing I do after a new installation - run a search for holder.txt and mass delete. Don't think I have heard of them actually causing this kind of trouble, though. Good riddance in any event.
