I have just purchased B-17 Flying Fortress II and can't get it to load. There seems to be no problem with the install, it just never gets past the setup screen. Anyone out there have a suggestion?

i finally got hold of the hasbro tec support guys and they said my problem is an old sound card driver. i've only had this computer a few months but the sound card driver is four years old and i can't find an updated one anywhere. so much for the great service from peoplepc. ha! this may be your problem as well. hope you have better luck updating your driver than i did.

you might checkout bombsaway.net they have some forums there that look like they could help. i've been on the road all this week and haven't had a chance to really get in there and look them over but i think thats gonna be the place to go for help. also hasbro just released a new patch so maybe that will help. good luck.

got b17 to run at last. its not very smooth yet but with some tweeking it should be alright. i downloaded a new 3dfx voodoo3 driver that was listed in the bombsaway community forum and that did the trick. there is a lot of info on the site so check it out.
