'geeze' guys..........

thanks for your help............

I've gone through several of these, op's what did I do wrong scenarios........

Am I particularly stupid? Maybe, time will tell!

Something to consider 'gentlemen' (for everyone's benefit), not all 'machines' are set up the same way! There may be circumstances that render 'standard' or 'one size' fits all solutions, irrelevant.
The number of variables are almost equal to the number of 'machines' out there!

Everyone is trying to help, at least it seems that way to me............

It might be possible, however unlikely, since the 'problems' have been 'seen before' that the standard 'fix' might not be that.........

Its assumed that a set of criteria applies to any given problem.............. really?

I am in admiration for those individuals who 'stick it out' with a problem, trying to help someone they have never met and probably never will........

But, on the other hand............

Many have gone through situations where 'walking' us through a problem ultimately ends in the 'fixes' being anything than that..........

Thats not a 'knock', just an observation...........

So, after you have been through the umpteenth variation of something......... frustration will set in!

It's only natural, don't you think?

So, at the outset, when 'addressing' such problems, wouldn't the first question be, did you do a restore? In fact, instead of all those......... 'you must install this first', or this program is needed to effect successful installation of the files / programs...... The first instruction might be 'do a restore point', before proceeding any further! This may seem obvious to 'guru's' but it's something I've learned, and it really is necessary, don't you think?

Thats what I did, without any 'melodrama' and implemented it in a non-melodramatic fashion......

I've noticed that on occasion some of the 'threads' address this......... that's good...........

I'm pretty sure the goal here is to advance the 'community' related to this simulation, its a good one, one of the best I've come across......... I hope to be using it for quite some time...

I wouldn't say that the 'attitude' on this site is one of either indifference or intolerance......... in fact I'd say its the exact opposite, that's a good thing, one in which everyone who participates can be proud of........ and because of this, many will turn to this site for help with their problems.......... I think it will continue to be the 'premier' site for such activities, at least I sincerely hope so!

This site is great, it allows everyone to 'customize' their experience relative to this 'sim'. And it doesn't try to 'trash' the original game.......... what more could you ask for?

Tolerance gentlemen, tolerance........... the acceptance of a different point of view or a different situation, one of which does not apply to you............ I don't always live up to it, sometimes you get caught up in the circumstances (know what I mean), its only natural..........

No 'knocks' or 'flaming' intended........ just my observation of a very good site and the people that make it work.........

Anyway, enough 'stumping'.......... I'd just like to thank all those individuals for their help.........
thanks to you I can continue to enjoy one of my favorite sims!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
