Goodaye,
I've wandered over here from the Wargamer forums courtesy of Steve's excellent AAR.
I'm having some trouble getting everything up and running. I see from a bit of reading here that you don't want to be hassled by nongs who can't be bothered to check the basics.
So I'll raise my right hand and state that I've done my due diligence before posting.
I've installed v4.75 on a high-spec 32 bit Vista box using full admin priviliges, a non-program files directory and all the usual suspects switched off at time of installation.
Install appears to be good and did all the required steps as per the relevant forum post.
I can start up a new game and can access a whole bunch of various screens. Moment I try F3 (system view) I get the following...
"Runtime error 339
Component TABCTL32.OCX or one of it's dependencies isn't correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
Aurora crashes and exits.
Troubleshooting...
Wiped Aurora (via control panel), reinstalled twice. No change.
Checked /windows/system32 and found TABCTL32.OCX present and accounted for (Active X ?)
Shut down virus checker, etc. No change.
Searched this forum for similiar error message. No joy.
Any assistance here to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.
I'd have posted this in the Installation forum but for some reason couldn't do it. Do new forum members not have authority to post there ? Kind of tricky if that's the case.
On a seperate note I'd say the reason I'm interested in playing Aurora is Steve's Tutorials that he recently posted. I looked at it earlier but was put off by the need to trawl forums in order to get playable info but the tutorials sealed the deal second time around.
I think they have struck just the right note of being informative, giving the hard data (formula) and some strategy advice while being presented in an entertaining manner. Well done.
Cheers,
Plugger
