[QUOTE=Jamminji]Hi all... I have an odd problem in PBEM. Everything was working fine then on about turn 5 or 6 of 13 he sent me his turn and I can click on it and then slick the start button. The game is in slot 3. It does load and brings up the password screen. I type my password in and it takes it. The password diolog box goes away and I now can press the start button. When I press the start button I see the hard drive light go and the little map in the bottom right corner pops up. But the main game map never comes up. The hard drive stops running after a little while, the mouse is frozen, and the only thing I can do is ctrl/alt/del out of the game. I have one other pbem game with the same guy in slot 4, and that one is working fine. I also have 3 other pbem games with another person in slots 5/6&7, and they are all working fine. Is there a problem with slot 3? What can I do to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sometimes things like this happen, a turn gets farkled and you can either have you opponent try to send the turn again as is (if you assume that the turn was farkled in transmit) or have him play the turn again and send that version (if you assume that it was farkled as he was saving or playing). A percentage of secure games will crash like this, it just happens.
thanks, John.
