MacBeth Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Are there any other Mac users out there? Currently I play the game on my G4 laptop, but have to enter orders on my work PC. To get around this problem, I bought Virtual PC with Windows XP. Virtual PC has worked for other turn entry programs in the past, but this time so far no luck. When I try to install the SN program, it says it is going to the C drive and then disappears (or I haven't found it yet). Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution? Or can recommend another solution? Thanks. --Russ (the other one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palladium Regency Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 You don't get any error messages? I am running everything on a 12" G4 Powerbook. A few of the database lookups are slow, sort of dread OC and LC orders, but other than that it works fine. Have you downloaded all the patches from Microsoft for XP? If you can give me more specifics, maybe I can help you get it running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Ive been using my venerable Imac DV with a measley 450Mhz G3 processor and virtual PC 4.0 running windows 98 and no problems have been encounted from the get go. I also have to be a bit patient when entering my turn orders but they have been going through without a hitch. One thing i noticed that did help me when i first downloaded the SN entry programs was to use the PC side to download and open everything up from there. Or you might try to download right to your destop on the mac side and simply open up the C drive on your PC side and drag the SN entry program right to your C drive and install.

MacBeth Posted February 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Thanks. I'll try again this weekend and see if it works. I wasn't aware of XP patches so that might be part of the problem. And loading direct to Virtual PC may help. --Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBeth Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Thanks; I got it running (slow). Next question, is there a way to delete orders from the 'edit orders' option? It ignores the delete/backspace key on a Mac laptop keyboard. --Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bug that also affects the PC version that sometimes you have to exit and return to edit mode before delete works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
