Problems with loading saves.... Tired of ads?

Hello all

I'm new here and I'll try not to mess up

My problem is that I cannot open up saved files which I received from Vel... If I use the load game option on the main screen it says 'you cannot load a password-protected save in single-player'. However, when I try to load through multi/PBEM it spits out an error saying it cannot open the map

I really want to see what Vel did to my city which I sent him....

Please Help
SeanW

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

It sounds like you might be trying to load a SMAC file in SMAC-X, or vice-versa. Find out which type of game vel's save is on, and when the screen comes up to choose between the big spaceship on the left and the dueling midgits on the right choose the proper one. If you don't have alien crossfire you will not get this screen, and you probably won't be able to play the turn .

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Hiya Sean! I opened and saved your game in SMACX....was it originally a SMAC game? If so, that's the problem, and I'll reply the 20-odd turns in SMAC and re-save....

Increase Your PM Length

That surely indicates either a very committed man, or simply a man who should be committed.

Got spare money?

Vel, I'm the second person having this problem with a game you've created multiplayer, for our TorureRack PBEM game. I run SMACX2.0

Vel, emailed the game to you. I'm curious as to if you can open it. You may have to kill me if you can.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

YT:

Thge fault might be mine - I didn't password protect the Believers, so it may not be letting you open your faction - I'll replay turn one this time pw protected, then e-mail it to you and see if that works

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I thnik the problem is mine. With the new save file, it tell me that Windows is out of Virtual memory. I defragged last night, didn't hrlp. Then I tried forcing it to a minimum of 128K, but the *^$& setting won't stay. It keeps resetting to 'let windows managed virtual memory'. PIA. Any idea how to get windows to accept the fact I'm telling it to change to specified VM?
