We are playing two seperate secure email games and my friend installed windows. SPWAW was in the same partition, so my friend installed SPWAW. Is it possible continue playing? My friend has save games, but he has problem continuing playing. I would like to ask one more question... Is it possible play first turns as a secure email game and remaining turns as a hot seat game in one computer?

In answer to your first question there may be other things happening that aren't related to what your friend has done with Windows and the game. All though I am kind of confuesed as to what your friend did exactly. Did he reinstall Windows? Did he change where he had the game installed? Both? Were your games started before he made some kind of change? But there have been problems reported with the play by e-mail games, if I'm wrong and I might be

someone will be along to correct me. These will be fixed very shortly with a patch, sometime later this week if all goes well. I would wait for the patch and see if it doesn't correct you and your friends problems. Your second question I believe the answer is no. I've not tried to start an e-mail game other than to see it work on my machine. The reason you can't is part of the security to the game, kind of like no practice to see which tatic works best. Hope this helps. Wait for some follow up posts to make sure I'm right on what I've said, if I am hang tight for the patch and if you still have problems get back quick

Bad habit of mine I start at the top and work down the posts

So of course I found a possable answer to your problem "after" I had answered you. Please read the post starting with the title "Different PBEM problem...". This very well may answer your first question. ------------------ Good hunting, Pack Rat
