......NOTHING. After numerous attempts and various hardware/software configs, I'm at my very short wit's end. I have ordered the first Mega Campaign based on the many MANY great reviews I have read in these forums but have not yet received it. I am, needless to say, in a hurry to play this game. Any suggestions appriciated... Sys info: PIII 450,128mb RAM,SB-Live,ATI RagePro, Win98se. TIA

Status: offline 		Didn't work.... Same results as before. I've tried I don't know how meny different methods here with no luck. I have also read past messages in this forum and can plainly see that no one has posted a solution yet, nor for that matter has anyone whom reported this same issue posted saying that they have found a work around for it. I have tried downing with both GetRight and without. I have tried rebooting prior to install. I have tried ctrl-alt-del. all progs except Explorer and Systray. I have tried...... Still looking for a solution because this simply *should* work. Tetchyy

Status: offline 		Tetehyy: Open your explorer folder; scroll to matrix games, open; scroll to Steel Panthers folder, open; scroll down to mech.exe, click and pray...No guarentees but I suspect it'll help..your on your own...good luck..it worked for me once before...have you got game backed up on a disc ??? It always helps to have a back up just in case. I hope this is a Christmas present not a lump of coal...

It looks like we may be having a *small* misunderstanding here (but I could be wrong?); The problem is that I have not even been able to install the game from the unzipped program yet... I only WISH I could get to the point where it was installed so that I could say I can't get it to run. Anybody have ANY suggestions? I REALLY want to try this game out. I have played WW2 board games for the last 20 yrs. and have yet to find a computer game good enepough to hold my interest for longer then a few hours. SPWAW sounds and looks very promising.... T
