System specs?

The latest build of all is Taylor's 20040822 build here (http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/20040822-win32.zip), though you'll have to consolidate all your pilot files from other mod directories, into the main one.  There are other features to this build, but I suggest you explore the SCP Latest Builds sub-forum to hear them all.  Should you chose to just play without investigating that forum, don't be alarmed by the new "cache" directory in your main data  directory and the same in any mod directories... its a GOOD thing. :nod:

Later!

my system specs are  as follows:
500 MHZ pentium  3
256 megs of  ram
ATI Xpert 2000 magnum video card
does this  help any?

How old is your video card? SCP does not seem to like old video cards (like TNT2's & voodoo's). It might have something to do with it.

If you're trying to run FSO, if its referencing fs2.exe then it sounds like the launcher isn't selected to run right build.  When you activate the Launcher (FSO Launcher), there should be a slot at the top with a "browse" button next to it.  This slot should have the command line of the build you want to run.  By default, its usually set to fs2.exe, which is the original exe.  You want to redirect it to the FSO build of your choice.

I hope that is the only cause of your problems.

Later!

Oh yeah, this old thing? I made it myself a while back, and never seemed able to think up a better one, so it stayed. ;) As for my ICQ, it's in my profile too, but here: 60979863. I'm not on all that often but if you pop me a message I ought to reply. :)
