Hi all,

I've run AOE2 and the Conquerors expansion before in multi-player but currently they only work after I disable *both* my internet connection *and* my network connection (to another PC) which means single player only for obvious reasons. If I don't disable them I get a black screen with a mouse pointer and I end up having to reboot (unable to end the task).

Obviously I can play single player no problem, but I want multi-player too (the girlfriend wants a game!).

I have tried the -mfill, -nostartup switches etc...
I have disabled firewall, antivirus etc..
I have even re-installed video drivers.

The only thing that effects it is a connection (to a PC or the internet).

Anyone able to shed any light on it?
Any help mucho mucho appreciado.

Cheers,

Cos
 
Thanks for the reply snowdog.

The machine is running W2K.
I've tried running in W95 /98 / NT compatibility modes too - same result :(

It's a MS game on an MS OS. Maybe that's the problem!
