true true, not really a difference between NTFS defraggin and a FAT32 run, but what operating system your running depends on what defrag program your using. the win98 one had alot of problems with always restarteding the whole process whenever a program would access the hard drive, this problem was fixed in win2kpro, and the whole process generally better :D

(Ea game's policy is to push out games that people buy, do a half arsed job with the game engine, then offer little or NO tech support {IE. Patches}) oh wait, they did that with Zero Hour... :(
twas a sad day for RTS games when EA tookover westwood...

SWEEET. I'll be sure to take my digital cam and get pics of WWI.

.

The pictures wouldn't be too exciting, WW1 started in August 1914.

Yeah I know that. I figured if I'm gonna go back, I may as well hang around for awhile. After all it's not everyday you get to go back in time.

Don't hold your breath waiting for EA either. They suck.

It happens all the time. It's nothing the operating system and the hard drive can't adapt to. The file clusters will be arranged neatly for 50% of the hard drive and the rest will still be scattered but still accessable.

You could hunt down and kill Hitler when he was just a kid.

Actually Hitler was a Corporal in WWI.

That's why he was sometimes referred to later in life as the Little Corporal.

He was with a artillery unit as I recall.
