I'm wondering about the Uninstall bit and the leftovers that may be in your system.

Each time you have reinstalled has it asked for the CD key?

Have you downloaded the 2500 - 2552 patch and what happens when you try and install it?

It has never asked for the CD key upon reinstall. I have the 2500-2552 patch. I thought the patch may alleveiate the problem, but the launch behavior is identical. I expect that once I can play at 2500, subsequent probelms will be solved. Could this be the result of a bad unistall? Also, I had EAW installed , and OPmod on another HD so I could play each style. All were removed some time ago.

.... I just ran the DxDiag tool. It indicates DirectX Version 6.1a SFC ran before at this version....

Get EZini, and run that thing, change the display resolution with it. Test a few to see which, if any, will work.

BTW, You are right, the Game will not ask for CD-key until the game is successfully launched.

Yes the worry about the CD key is a red herring on my part, sorry. It only asks when you start playing.

DirectX 8 comes on the CD so I'm assuming that's the required level.

Most people are using DirectX 9.0b now I think.

I hope you said no to Direct x and Gamespy when you installed the game.I would get the V2.0 Enhancement pack in the Dynaverse 2 forum and read all instruction before downloading and you don't need Ezini as it is already in there.The posters name is Pestalence.

I wouldn't get anything extra like an enhancement pack until you have the basics running. Don't be distracted by such things yet.

You are absolutly correct to want to get the basic 2500 game running first, so ignore other suggestions about updates until you have reached that milestone.

And if you really have DirectX 6 then you will want to say Yes to the installation of DirectX 8 from the CD.

However I would be more inclined to download the latest DirectX form Microsoft and install that instead.

Downloaded latest directX. That's the ticket. screen came up AND asked for CD Key. Must have really uninstalled back when!

Thanks all.

I am d/l OP3.3 and I d/l'ed SFCOP_Chooser_V65.exe
What other "must haves" should I get?

Which mod has the SFB models?

Oh, and what's the method for online play these days?

I hate to say this but you will have to do it all over again.The good news is that you won't have DL direct x9.0b.The bad news is that you will have to install SFC2 OP delete game folder.Then you will have to reinstall SFC2 OP say no to direct x and game spy.Then you will want to go in to D2 and DL V2.0 Enhancement Pack Poster Pestalence.This contains everything you need in it OP+3.3 and don't DL the chooser.The script in the Enhancement Pack have EAW scripts in them and many more campaigns.I sorry to have to tell you this but this what everyone has in their system.The Enhancement Pack is great though.I would delete the chooser as well.The Enhancement Pack is stickied or pinned at the top of the Dynaverse 2 forum.

Good Luck and have fun
