This is what I did:
1) Installed SC and version 1.02 patch.
2) Started game, played fine. I confirmed the game is version 1.02
3) Downloaded opponent PBEM games into PBEM folder, played turns, saved, overwrote files, hit okay, and then e-mailed saved games from PBEM folder to opponents. They all said they got zero files. My e-mails show appropriate saved PBEM files attached to my e-mails with the paperclip icon, but only 2k size e-mails in the sent e-mail folder. So even though its showing an attached file, no saved PBEM is getting e-mailed.
4) Deleted game, reinstalled, did patch again, confirmed it was version 1.02 Started game, played against computer and saved, that file is there and reloaded fine.
5) My opponents resent their first PBEM turns, all saying they got nothing. I saved their turns into the PBEM folder, but now, when I try to load the PBEM games an old DOS like box pops up momentarily, then entirely kicks me out of SC.
6) Tried doing a PBEM game with myself, as a test. Started, played turn, saved, e-mailed to myself, and noticed it was a zero file, even though the file icon was attached to the e-mail, just like the other PBEM games. I downloaded into PBEM folder anyway, but get kicked out of the entire game as mentioned above when I try to reload it.
I am using Window 98 with a Pentium 3. I need help, as I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong, but who knows.
Looking forward to a response. My game was delivered to the wrong address, causing a delay, and now this! !
