I have windows xp. After loading the Tiller for BG games disc I could play all the games. After loading the patch the program asks for the disc when the Tiller disc is in the computer. I can play two games I happen to have older discs for.

I would appreciate help so that I could play games in the club other than for the two older discs that I have.

First, are you playing the TALONSOFT BattleGround series? Or are you playing the HPS/Tiller Campaign series of games.

Both series require the appropriate game disk to be in the drive.

Then all your games are ONLY TALONSOFT?

Remember, if you have more than one CDROM/DVD drive,you must use the drive you installed the games FROM!

The John Tiller I have is Matrix/Talonsoft.

I loaded all the games into my new computer with the J Tiller disc, patched them. I have played two games successfully with BGBR and BGA but cannot get the game to run for Gettysburg. I have not patched Shilog or Chickamagua. I can play them against AI successfully.

Any thoughts?

Paul

I do not know what the Matrix games do or how to fix problems with them or how their patches work.

But, if you installed them all the same way and from the same CDROM drive, then there is no reason for all of them not to work.

IF there are patches for the Matrix games,make sure the PATCH is placed in the main game folder before running it.
