Computers. I've been trying to trace a suspected spyware or something for days now. I have a continuous outflow of 2kB-7kB per sec with no traceable source. I've been using Spybot and it keeps finding "DSO (data source object) exploits" involving some registry settings that get reset on boot-up, and removing via Spybot doesn't stop the stream. Gonna d/l Ad-Aware to see if it catches something Spybot systemmatically misses.

Yep, I've got the same thing - even worse, when I run Adware it causes the system to reboot

Others have noted and discussed the recurring "DSO Exploit":

Duh!

It seems rather infectionous (is that english?)

BOTH my harddrives have big problems. One is dead, the other can only be accessed in DOS.

I have ordered a new PC to replace my vintage 166 Mhz MMX that has been good to me until he reached the mature age of 9. I guess that is about as old as harddrives get.
I expect to be out of processing power for another week or so, and I'll need to re-download the Civ Patches and scenarios probably as well, so maybe I can persuade Sparrowhawk to sub for me.

I'll PM him a few things that could be done for the Assyrian Empire, after which he can Ctrl-N for the rest.
If its to much trouble for you Sparrowhawk, a Ctrl-N alone will do as well.


I'll be back faster and more powerfull then ever

(the mere idea of running civ2 on a 2.4 Ghz/1GigRAM makes me laugh though )

Okay, save has been downloaded and PM received. I am preparing to play (though I need an atlas to follow some of Germanos instructions my knowledge of the geography of the area is not what it should be...though it seems a little strange that he wants me to attack any units within reach, who am I to argue jk! )

Hopefully your new computer works well for you, I look forward to hearing how it works out, as it seems many people have had troubles running Civ on a faster machine (especially if the new computer has XP, but Good Luck )

So far, so good (OS=XP). I've downloaded babylon's save, and at least I have full access to it.

Right...

Not much news to report.

If for some reason this file is corrupt (although I have no reason to beleive so), Kull can play from Sparrowhawk's save for the Assyrian empire (a few post above this one).

My system slowly degraded in the 2 days since my last post - finally reachging the point where most programs refused to run and even the Start button didn't work.

By then everything had been copied over to a backup drive, so the "Repair WinXP" option didn't completely annihilate me with it's interesting "solution" - the ever so unhelpful "boot-loadup screen-reboot-repeat-ad infinitum-for-eternity" result.

Just got things running again yesterday - so yes, there does seem to be a touch of "dead computer flu" making the rounds!

Is it significant that this game is getting so old that the Human Player need to replace their computers to continue playing? Seems most appropoe (no idea of the spelling on that)

Now that I have transferred most of my 'old' files to my new Puter,
(old win98 got corrupt, so I could only read in DOS, while I couldn't reinstall without a format. So far, I have only got a few (non-essential) corrupted files, the rest was easily read by XP from the same harddisk)
it is time to express my HUGE THANKS to Vizier Sparrowhawk for his aid in running my Empire. Without him, Assyria would have definitely be lost


I also express my condolances to Kull, for him having to take the rod in this 'System Crash Relay Run' we are having. Maybe we can make it into an Olympic Venue. (smallest delay in posting the save will win )


To all players I want to note that Sparrowhawk played faithfully to my orders, and that he had reported me back equally faithfully on the results of his moves. I have copied all his moves, and added quite a few more in the occasion he had left the situation unchanged as he had received, since he didn't receive any specific orders for these units or build orders etc. I allready felt I strained Sparrowhawks support for this game with a ten item order list, allthough my Empire requires a much longer one

Sparrowhawk = :king:

Sure
Please note the offending unit was on [i]sentry[\i] and not fortified. Assyria has no intention to hinder Egyptian movement in Canaän.

Just a quick note, I sent a PM to Stefan reminding him it was his turn before I left on holidays and he read it the next day so I didn't bother posting the game with a Control N, but as I see he hasn't played I guess I should have (my bad ), but now that I am away from home I have internet access but no Civ access.

Sorry guys

Thanks Sparrowhawk and enjoy your well deserved holiday

I say: next one in line (Greece I think) plays his turn ASAP, never mind the Ctrl-N.

Problem with that is I think giving the AI control of one empire for even one turn will screw up the game for everyone else (1 AI takes control and all AI's change), but that I what I have read here, I don't actually know for certain.

I think Kengel could try the Ctrl-N himself. With closed eyes (and some training on his own turn)...?

Or... it should be doable by hexediting (??)

I'm pretty sure only the players who are skipped are taken over by AI.

Why would the AI take over for Civs who aren't prone to take action anyway?

It has been 2 FULL WEEKS since Kull posted his save.

I insist that Kengel plays his turn as soon as possible.

Stephan's save is passworded. Hexediting is probably to bothersome, unless one of us knows how to do such a thing.
I strongly object to hexediting if we first have to find somebody who has experience with this.



As far as I am conceirned, Kengels 72 hours have started ticking away.
PM to Kengel will be send ASAP
