Thanks for the reply. I tried all the suggestions below. Here the problem description (I'm running WinXP):
I created a new folder at the C:\ level called "Cyberboard" I downloaded Cyberboard 3.02 from the website and unzipped the contents (8 files) into the "Cyberboard" folder I created. Opened CBPlay. Selected File...Open and then selected the game I want to open (sent from friend who created it). I get an error message that says "The parameter is incorrect" When I quit CBPlay, it asks me "Save changes to Untitled?" with Yes/No/Cancel. If I choose No, CBPlay quits. If I choose Yes, I get a Save As dialogue box. When I provide a filename and attempt to save, I again get "The parameter is incorrect" error message. After quitting CBPlay, I notice that there is a file of size 0K with the filename I provided. It is also unopenable in the same way. --- In [email protected], Chiggy Von Richthofen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > 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.

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? > > Thanks > To: [email protected] > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 21:38:13 +0000 > Subject: [CBML] Re: New to CB and can't get started... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], > > "czarnecki_jay" <jaycz@> wrote: > > > Bill, thank your for taking the time to write this detailed > > > step-by-step, I do appreciate it.
