Morning all!

First of all: I'm sorry to hear about the fire. How did this happen?

2.) Mac, TDM should have installed correctly. The install program waits for the XCopy-dosbox to close and I think it didn't for you. When you where Alt-Del-ing it, the program finished as planned.

3.) Xcopy is needed to copy most of the files as the install program cannot copy files to a location that is more then 150 characters long (path and file name added together, that is).

4.) The AI settings in the setup of races should be avoided. SE4 comes with 3 generic AI sets (defensive, neutral, aggressive). If you set this for a races it will use these AI files and not the ones in its races folder, in expression, it will use generic ones and not the ones the author designed for the race.

Hope this helps!

Fyron, tks appreciate the help

Mephisto, tks, was wondering if i once again did something that the infernal machine didn't like,
don't know why it hung up, waited 7-8 min, first before I alt-del, looks ok, but i won't know until i try it... tks again, also now I know not to use those ai minister settings, tks

Gryphin, yep, learned that costly lesson way back in my atari 800 days, played during t-storm, lost my color chip, as well as most everything else, cost me over $300 at that time to get it fixed. Now standing rule in my house, if t-storm & lightening, turn off and unplug.... Can imagine what it would cost today to get one fixed, probably cheaper to just buy a new system....

Saxon, I think you need to recognoiter your next target lst, do some backround, and watch what she eats when on break before you approach. Maybe its something in the water over there that affects them,,, Just listen to The Gryphin, he seems to be doing something right,....

Hey, they showed some of the world cup games on espn yesterday, I swore I saw a Shrek Looka like in the stands, he appeared to have large cup in hand, face painted and screaming, at least his mouth was moving..... do you think it was you know who??????

Tesco, did dogscoff sign up for the game, havn't seen him at the cantina lately, just wondering..

Anchovies = Weapon System
Cheese = radar
Sausage = Missles
Beaf = Crew
Hamburger = Damage

tks everyone for answering my questions...

Why does it only happen to me mac

Mac, I didn't sign up to the bash. I finally went to do it about an hour ago but it looks like I missed the boat. I thought I'd be fine until GT got back. Ah well...

When I sold computers, the best day for sales was the day after a Tstorm. Business were deparate. I began to include 3 pages of "How to Use" tips with each system I sold. Unplug all componetns from wall was at the top. You would be amased how many people would ignore that and be back again.

You can select a ship names file to use with your race or fource an AI to use. When you create a ship you can do name it yourself or click on the drop down to choose one from the text file.
Soon you will have a list of Forum Posters
