I havent playedit online, but just this minute come off a skirmish with a
add on map, me agaist 5 brutal armies, a good few hours non stop, i tried
online but it says some files are differant etc etc, so wont do it, which it
says it needs like the update, i added many new maps some time ago so i
think thats the problem, it says reinstall but i dont want to lose all my
details etc etc, pity tho, when i get a new machine may try it then.

I did install it in a mates for a LAN skimrish, he has a 1gig Compaq
machine, forget if it was 32 or 64mb but it was onboard(no agp) so wouldnt
play, i added a 64 pci but still no luck.
