I'm afraid my only instance of the Parental Controls is the one I get if I flatten and reload my system, so it wouldn't do you much good.

Tony, I figured it out. It turns out the problem was the ASUS Parental Controls that shipped on the default image for the ASUS eee 1005ha netbook. Took those off, now things work well. I've had to stop playing for a few weeks, as I ran into very serious problems with my small business in early June. Will probably buy the full game as soon as I'm sure my livelihood is through floundering.

Okay. I have not tried the Safe Mode idea yet. This thing doesn't boot quick, but I'll try it soon. As a side note, is there a command line option to open a saved game? Running that latest debug build, I got the below. Logging begins. Build Date = May 12 2011, Build Time=08:22:36 0 harpoon.c:732 - done processing arguments.

Okay. Will have something for you tonight or tomorrow. Don't thank me for the patience, let me thank you for the game I've been looking for ever since I finished Jane's Fleet command!

Enjoy your weekend. I'd appreciate the help... I have fun with the game, but it's hard to get my job done and finish a 6 hour bout with the computer without making the girlfriend jealous. 5.0 USNI #3 takes a while to finish, even on highest speed. Those troop ships don't hustle....

Okay. The newest version of the EXE exhibits the same behavior.

I was running that resolution because I was going to take screen caps. Resolution doesn't seem to change it, though, 1280 x 1024 on an external monitor gives the same results. It doesn't matter if I use an external monitor or the machine's own display. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I'll try the newer game engine. Can't hurt, might help.

Deleted the file. Same performance.

Hi. I tried to post in defect tracking, but apparently I'm not allowed to post there. I've been playing HCEDemo, and it's awesome, but I can't save... or at least open saves.
