It would seem that most or all of my recent CFS2 woes are possibly linked to the fact that my Windows installer is screwed up.. I D/L'ed the installer fix from 'Microshaft' & got a message telling me that my installer is improperly installed & that I should take my PC into the shop (paraphrased).. This would be my last resort as I am a cheapskate.. Also, I am wondering if my .bmp compiling issues might be somehow linked to the problem.. Does anyone have any thoughts here? I am completely out of my element with this tech stuff..
