I just recently purchased SFC1. (I found a used copy, finally!) I DL'd and installed the 1.03 patch. I ran the game last night and all went well. Today, when I tried to play it again, the only gameplay option that lights up is multiplayer? The singleplayer skirmish and campaign modes are "greyed out" and I can't access them. Anyone know how to fix this?

If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it.

Your game CD needs to be in for you to play it.

If your CD player isn't able to detect the CD then you have a problem.

This may be attributable to the WinXP bug dealing with multiple users/logins for the WinXP OS. There is a post on this forum telling about one possible solution.

Thanks

Buying it used, I didn't get a manual, (No, I didn't lose it

) and there aren't any pop-up warnings. I'm using XP, but other than having to manually run the install I haven't noticed any other bugs *yet*!
Thanks again

The SFC1 manual is very nice publication. If you can find it somewhere and the seller isn't going to gouge you for it, it would be a nice thing to have.

The manual should be on the CD, no? I have the manual in PDF format on my CD. I printed it out and put it in a three ring binder.

The reason only the multiplayer works is that you can run a game with up to two other people on one CD. The only CD required needs to be in the host's machine, the two other people can connect and play multiplayer on his or her machine without needing two more CDs. Very nice.

I played some SFC1 last night for the first time in a long time and I forgot how good it was. The mission variety is just excellent compared to later versions. If there were only some way to marry the best of SFC1, SFC2, and SFC3.

1.) heaven helps us. More "lost manual" posts!!!

2.) Do you mean to say you gave the manual away to a girl? (what would girls want with SFC manual?!) or at the urging of a girl?

3.) ALL MANUALS. SFC1, 2, 2.5, and 3 are ALL Avilable for fownload online. (if you can't find it on CD.)

1/2/OP/ are from Interplay.com, 3 can be found at yahoo!games-on-demand.
