Well, most of these problems have to do with Windows XP. User Accounts was basically added as an after-thought, since most of windows XP's code is just windows 2000 with a new skin. So having multiple accounts with administrator rights and restricted rights on them will fubar any program after a while, but especially any program that automatically changes your screen resolution when it launches. (because of the way rules and a user accounts specific .ini files affect who can and can't change screen res, and what those default resolutions are when windows loads; IE games like Sim-city, Armada, etc) Adding a clean account with its own documents and rules and .ini files; or reformatting to do a clean install will clean these issues up.

Side note, you see the same issues with windows networking as well for the same reasons. I'm sure you've all seen windows spontaneously stop going to websites even though you KNOW its connected, because the DNS cache gets corrupted or you need to clear your resetlog file or winsock   I dun know how many times I saw and had to explain these as  a DSL tech after hearing "Oh, well this never happened with my ~insert competing ISP here~"

funny how you never see these issues on mac or linux *l* anyways, my 2c worth I'm going to watch the orig Stargate movie for a while *l*

I tried copying my armada2.exe to the FO folder armada2.tgt but that didn't help either.

I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled twice.

The CD was in E:

I can still play my armada 2 install just fine, but when I try to launch FleetOps, I get a random logo on the screen, then the windows crash msg in armada2.tgt
