Unless you changed the naming of the file folders that the game installs, your WITP VER 1 00 79 will not work. 1. Create the shortcut by opening the folders that lead you to the game executable file War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe 2. Right Click on the game executable to bring up options and choose "create shortcut". That will create a shortcut with the correct path to the game folder. This is the only shortcut that will work with the switches. Note that your game must be patched up to version 1.8.11.26a or 1.8.11.26b to really work with the switches. I don't know whether any foreign language version of the game exists with a different patch number (like your 1.00.79), but if it does it should be dated within the past seven or so years to work with the switches properly. 3. Drag the new shortcut to your desktop, then right click on it to bring up its properties. In the box called TARGET, put in your switches in a line that looks like this (my switch line) - "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -altFont -archive -deepColor -px1680 -py1050 -w -fixedArt -skipVideo -multiaudio -SingleCpuOrders -cpu3 4. Note that you CANNOT use the minus sign for the switches, you must use the hyphen from the top of the keyboard, to the right of the number row. All spacing and punctuation (upper and lower case letters, quote marks, back-slashes) must be exact 5. If you still do not understand the process, consult the stickied thread on Slow Performance which has lots of screenshots showing what to do and explanations of what the switches might do for you. Alternately, download and install Korvar's Seabee utility which automates the installation of the switches and creates the correct shortcut.
