Vathailos -> PBEM Tech-support question (7/8/2003 9:33:35 PM)

And sorry if this is the wrong forum folks. I think Dwayne posted one of our problems here already, and this is along the same lines.
Some of my completed turns I send to him are “corrupt” apparently. After the first incident, I started waiting a full 30 seconds, while on the first [I]exit[/I] screen (where you are defaulted to when you quit your turn), to let the game save completely (even though I didn’t see any HD activity via the activity light).
And I’ve since had another corrupt turn sent to him. Re-playing turns is something I hate, not because of the hassle, but because I feel it’s unfair, I now know where his units are, they may not OP fire as well, etc.
I take painstaking precautions to make sure that the re-play is the same as the original turn (I’ll sacrifice vehicles or abandon them if an OP-shot misses on the re-play but hit on the original turn, for example), and I’ll set my arty and move my units exactly as I did my first turn, but it’s a hassle!
Is it possible that the following is “corrupting” my saves?
While playing, I’ve been getting notifications of intrusion attempts from my firewall program that pops me out of SPW@W. I close the notification window, and click on the program to “un-minimize it” and resume the game. Is it possible that this popping in and out of the game is somehow corrupting my PBEM campaign?
Please advise. Thanks in advance.
