Hi, I have been playing CEAW Gold for the last year on the same machine with very few problems (occasional crash). Suddenly the sounds and music stopped working. I can click on the sound files and they work and sound works in every other application. The PC is a Toshiba Satellite Pro running Vista 3...

Success at last.

Here's what I did.
1. Reverted to Vanilla CEAW Gold v1.12
2. INstalled GS expansion
3. Tested - it worked
4. Manually installed 1.01 mods
5. Tested - it works!!!!

It suggests that the v1.12.1 mod was the cause.

Thanks for your collective help. Now I can play!!!!!!!!!!

rkr1958, hopefully I have understood what you meant me to do. 1. Uninstalled CEAQ and deleted all files in Program Files and Documents. 2. Ran System Mechanic to restore registry as CEAW gold uninstal doesn't work and I could only delete the files. 3. INstalled CAEW Gold vanilla (this is v1.12 right...

I've responded to the troubleshooting questions you posed below: 1. What is the issue? (c) Installer completes but the GS expansion won't run. When I click on the icon a blank DOS box appears briefly – nothing else happens. (h) Other issue or relevant details (please describe). I have installed 2009...

I tried the beta hotfix at http://rapidshare.com/files/319635985/2 ... HotFix.zip and nothing has changed - still the empty DOS box.

Thanks, I will.

I'll wait for the fix then. Thanks Ian.

No, not yet. When I reloaded everything CEAW Gold 1.12.1 installed with no troubles and the game runs as it should. I may have over-reacted with the base game as I had sorted it before and it's been fine ever since. However, no luck with the Expansion. If I delete all the settings.txt files I can fi...

Would you believe this is starting all over again. CAEW Gold 1.12 has been working fine. I added the BJW mod and it worked fine. Today I installed the Gold Expansion but it would not start up, just the brief appearance of the black DOS box. I reasoned that the BJW mod might be a problem so uninstall...

That's the problem with this modern technology - everyone in their own box doing their thing, not caring whether they are having an impact on other boxes. True for the biggest box of all too. Sadly it's unavoidable.

We were running CA Vet until, about a month ago, 3 different machines would not boot. One was W2K. one XP, the third Vista. Removing CA Vet fixed the problem. These problems happened over a space of about 2 weeks. I then went to Agnitum Security Suite which is when CEAW stopped working. When it and ...

The only update applied between when CEAW was working and when it no longer worked was WIndows Defender Update KB915597.

Yes, I did try the all the tricks in the Stickies - none had any effect at all.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Pip,

No logfiles in Documents/CEAW directory structure.

Cheers, Mark

I was running CEAW Gold with the 1.12.1 patch. I have it working now but it was painful. As stated in an earlier post I removed all security programs that I could and disabled the others (Windows) amd also removed System Mechanic. I then installed Agnitum Outlook Pro Suite and System Mechanic, reins...

I have now progressively deleted from my system the Agnitum Outpost Pro Security Suite, AdAware, Malwarebytes, SpyBot, and System Mechanic. I have also turned off Windows Defender. There is no firewall or anti-virus software running on the system, no anti-anything on the system at all. Still CEAW wi...

I'm using Agnitum's Outpost Security Suite Pro. I disabled the suite, the firewall, AdAware and MalWareBytes. It made no difference.

I have the same problem. I updated my security suite to Agnitum Outpost Pro on Friday, but I doubt that this is the problem as the firewall logs claim to be allowing the game. Besides, it makes no difference if I temporarily disable the firewall. CEAW worked fine two days ago but today I get the bla...
