Hello Team

I have started a New Year with the hope of getting BoB2-WoV up and running - I wont tell you how long I have had this game and how often I have given up.

I was going to spend the money on newer options but in the end figured out that I would this time ask for help if needed. I mean why spend money to fly something that isn't as good or has the option to play the history part of the campaign without getting in a plane even.

Sure enough I can't even get in the air without something being wrong on my end.

I am not very computer smart and my medication doesn't allow me to keep focused on a task very long but I do want to make this happen.

So with that said I know you will have a lot of questions and I will do my best to work on the answers - but please try to ask your questions in a format that a very New User to the game and computers will understand.

As a start here is what I think you need to know about my system.

Windows XP Service Pack 3, Pentinum 4 (3.0 GHz), 2GB of Ram
ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP with 512MB of Memory
Driver 8.452 dated Jan 9, 2008 and I use ATI Tray Tools (v1.7.9.1573) not Catalyst - so this works for every other game without any problems.
Yes I am using DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) per DxDiag.

I ensured I had Ground Object Density = Full - on the 'More GFX' Option Tab.

I started out with the Matrix Games v2.06 - it also defaulted to ground texture being more water than land.

Thought I would update to v2.10 & v2.10 MultiSkin and it would clear up - no it didn't.

So now I am at the mercy of the BDG and my fellow gaming friends to help me get up and running on dry land.

NOTE: I have already used Revo UnInstaller to uninstall the game and any left over registry entries and folders and reloaded - same effect all 'wet'.

To be honest I don't know what I did wrong as the basic 2.06 install didn't load correctly either.

HELP,

Earl

I hate to say this, but I do not believe that system will run the current iteration of BoB II.
