Phantom, I'll do the incredibly time-intensive removal/reinstall of GR and mods et al. But in your last post are you speaking to me? ...or to someone else? I haven't had a copy of Win98 for 3 years now. Seems like it's going a bit backward to install a Windows Operating System that predates Win2000. And after working diligently over the past year to get only products and games that are compatible with WinXP Pro, I'm not going through the counterproductive angst of trying to get several dozen programs of my hundred or so, to work with Win98 that are not designed

X69, Actually as you can see in my own screen shot...I do not have either of those files. So we may be onto something. Sherlock Holmes I'm clearly not...but you just may have provided a lead that is remarkably well directed. I have reinstalled GR 2 or 3 times...but perhaps another reinstall is the right way to go...but cheesh that does take a lot of time...reinstalling GR/IT/DS/Frostbite... Hope all the mods don't get lost or corrupted. Thanks for the clues, X. Proto >>>

X69, I do not have "GR\data\save\current.but and default.ass files" anywhere within the GR folder. I even performeda search and no files by those names were in any game withhin my H:drive. ...sigh...and the search goes on.... ...but I in the mean time I still can not host or play HX_de Dust map.

Actually 69, The file or folder "GR\data\save\current.but " is one file path I can clearly see within the jet-fast streaming of data that Check disk and Scan disk repairs, as they scroll hundreds of files up across my screen in a D.O.S. looking format. ...hope this leads to something...

White, Yes I have a few other programs...a golfing game, flight sim, Battlefield 1942 (I don't play this ever...it doesn't have half the 'class' inherent to GR), O.R.B., Homeworld Cataclysm, Raven Shield and maybe 3 others. The 60 GB drive is my games-only drive. I have no problems with any other games...only with GR. Sometimes I cuss at GR...even though it is my favorite game. As a fact I can't stand the lagginess of Raven Shield and I don't even play it. Even without the lag problems, GR wins hands down because of the player set up and mobility during the game. I won't go int

White, I am forced to run Scan disk and Check disk very very often. Ghost Recon has forced this unfortunate recurrence. There is ALWAYS something corrupted in the H:games/Ghost Recon folder. Sometimes check disk and scan disk have to "repair" files...as many as several HUNDRED GR files. And if I don't allow scan disk to operate then the blasted popup warning or error messages appear for all the hours or days I have my computer up and running...thus I certainly run scan and check disk when XP wants to run them. And yes I have completely cleared my 60 GB drive twice, and reinst

P4 2GHz Geforce 4 Ti4600 128 Mb Ram SB Audigy 1 GB of DDR Ram 7 hard drives from 60 GB to 200 GB GR is on the 60 GB 7200 rpm Maxtor drive. Cable Internet connection rated at 3.5 Mb/s...sometimes it exceeds 5.5MB/s Windows XP Pro There are two events which cause GR to puff out of existence, leaving me sitting stairing at my desktop. 1) When I try to host a game...something I used to do often...as soon as I click on the "CREATE A GAME" button, the game disappears and I end up looking at my desktop. 2) When in another host's HX game, as soon as he starts one particular map..
