With this it shall normally work.......even on this funny Win10 version ;)
(good old colonization :D )
I am just wondering if MS did change something for the directplay behaviour.....which version of WIn10 are you running? (might be worthwhile) looking into this area....maybe.....
It may be failing hardware that's the problem; my desktop computer is now getting stuck in "getting Windows ready; don't turn off your computer " - even when I can trigger Automatic Repair mode, pressing the key to restart in "Safe mode with networking" just gets it back into the same "getting Windows ready" loop. I left it alone all morning while I was at work and now have a useable desktop for the moment, so I'm copying all important data files to a portable hard drive. My husband OKed buying a replacement computer, so we have one on order from the Best Buy website, and it should arrive here in a couple of days. In the meantime, I'm using my laptop and my husband's computer to access the Internet and play games.
