Is there a similar demo for HCE? Thanks, John.

Downloading demo at present. Thanks, Herman.

Re-installed. Version 1.55b. Starts ok, select giuk, scenario 1.0, nato, nukes off, windows come up (ABS, two ships, speed 0, 6 degrees). 'General Protection Fault in module WINHARP.EXE at 0001:018D. Choose close. WINHARP will close' And it closes!! Also WSCENEDT produces the same GPF at the same location. HCSysinfo runs, stops at Failed to get data for RomFontPointers and fails to produce a report. John

I found the old CD. It is Winharp for w3.1 (Installer showed version 1.5x, Xp reports 3.2.3 from 1996). Is there a way to get this running under xp? Thanks, John

Thanks Tony. Some food for thought. John

I used various versions some years ago, finishing on Classic and W98. One of the problems was non re-sizable windows; ridiculously small on a large screen (1600x1200, or better). (Current hardware is twin core Athlon running XP.) So far as I can tell the main difference between the two versions is single user v multi-user. I expect mainly single user, but for the small price difference multi-user would be nice if there were no penalties or 'gotchas'. Is there any compelling reason to choose one or the other? Can old battlesets and scenarios be updated for use with either version?; or does one merely download new versions? Am I right in thinking that there still seems to be a problem with H3 not fully utilizing screen resolutions available under XP? Thanks for advice. John
