Combining A&A, A&AE, and A&AP.

You are correct Carolina :-)

Awesome!  Thanks for the link.

That’s pretty much what I’m getting… 2 sets of all the pieces, 1 set of chips, and control markers. I frequently run out of markers for Japan, Germany, and Russia sometimes.

Damn Hasbro!  That’s exactly why I’m confused.  Like you, I’ve spent a lot of time playing AI rather than RI…  :-D
That’s why I’m happy to see my laptop coming in the next week or so; no more playing the predictable AI.

I think you need to uninstall Direct X 9.0 and get 8.0

I run XP and have no issues with A&A at all. I would suggest a couple of things:

1. Make sure you cdrom drive you play the game from is on DMA mode and not PIO mode.

2. Upgrade to the latest Direct X package.

3. Make sure you are using the most current drivers for your video card.

Those are all standard answers I know but you just can’t be too sure. Does this do this in any other games or programs or just A&A?

From Kenya you can S. Bomb S. Europe and land in Cacaus …

Thanks! I guess that makes two of us that need a nap. :P
