Sorry I did not follow this thread so I don't know all the details, some things you might want to try if this is an XP box. Drop to a command prompt and type from a C:> cd %temp% and enter type dir *.tmp if there are tmp files listed then type del *.tmp do the same for ~*.* and then reboot the pc and then delete and reinstall the game.
Also what language is cyberboard done it? If its dot net could there be a dot net patch that needs loading etc. And perhaps a radical choice and try and reinstall service pack 2 for xp. This would give you a clean xp install without all the hot fixes but be warned that a ton of them will want to reinstall. Can someone restate the issues and when and how they occur?

Between what Chris F and Lee and I have covered, my "guess" at this point is that there is something unusual about your System set-up. I am _not_ a techie at all, just informed enough to know when to go and pay some local store to fix or tweak something. Per your first post we know you are using Cyberboard 3.02 and have a WinXP system. And that you are both using _exactly_ the same .GBX Gamebox file? (not sure if the latter was confirmed) 1. Did you ever select "Compress Old Files" during a "Disk Clean-Up" task? I doubt that's an issue at this point, since I believe you've un- installed and re-installed Cyberboard. 2. Are you running any Disk Management utilities? Or might there be one running that came with the computer when you bought it? That might a source of problems. 3. How old is your hard drive, how full is it, and does a "Disk Scan" reveal a lot of bad sectors and corrupted files? Ahh, and 4. which really should be first --- ask your opponent to re- send you the .GAM file: it might have been corrupted somehow. If _he_ has some weird email client, then ask him to use WinXP's Zip utility to zip the .GAM file first. Good luck, and sorry if this isn't useful.
