I don't understand the bit about the local function. Is there somewhere
I can look it up? Also how do you use AWE? Does it just work with the
normal browser?

it's great: thanks to all concerned. One query, dating from the first
time I downloaded AWE. From a few angles, unoccupied land looks like
grass, but mostly it looks palin green like before.

When I first used AW, I thought the figures were tiny and wanted to zoom
in more. I do not now use Third Person much as I build a lot, but
recently I switched to it and found that it was zoomed in so far that I
could only see the top half of my av. Is there a way to adjust this?

If you wrong us, shall we not revenge? Actually, I though twice about
cracking that one: some people are very literal minded.

Amen to that. I mostly build when I am on. I can't be bothered with
the chat at GZ, which is mostly puerile.

Since Feb 3 the enhanced scenery you get with AWE has gone off in my
browser and the old, blurry background with hardly any sky has come
back. I've tried downloading AWE again but it made no difference.

4.1 does not work at all for me. When I try to open it I get "Can't
load gdiplus.dll".

I got that done. The program got as far as logging in, then I got
"invalid import from DDRAW.dll and a crash.

How long is it going to be disabled? It is still disabled 19.40 GMT 31/5.

Right. On their advice I downloaded DirectX 9 for W98 and it works.

With help from the support team I am now using AW4.1 with AWE1.4 on
W98SE with DirectX9.0. Plaudits to all who helped.

I couldn't get into 4.1 at all. Someone at support told me about
(something).dll I can't remember. I got as far as logging in but got an
error message. The same guy told me to download DirectX 9.0. Presto:
there was still a version for 98SE. However I understand from the BBC
that support for 98 ends at the end of the month. Even MS come out of
this well, in my opinion.

I checked again, and they work when I boot AW up. They stop working
when I have been building for some time.
