European Air War Error 7217 Fix

1) All my copied files have become 'READ ONLY' (all 400 of 'em or whatever)
2) I keep getting error 7217 when I try to start EAW (direct draw error)..computer came with directx 6.1a installed but that shouldnt be the problem..

Looks like I have to reinstall EVERYTHING again by hand unless somebody has a QUICK fix..hehe..

Anybody get that 7217 error with Voodoo 5500?

Download Wii Play ROM for Nintendo Wii(Wii ISOs) and Play Wii Play Video Game on your PC, Mac, Android or iOS device! Remember that the ROM is only one part. In order to use this Wii Play ROM you will need to download a Nintendo Wii emulator.There are emulators for different platforms like Windows, Android, iOS and Mac OS X. The Wii happens to be the only remaining console that can run Gamecube games natively, although with a little hacking it can be run on the Wii U. Nowadays, lots of users downloading emulators and playing Nintendo Wii roms games on their stationary computers or laptops. Wii Play includes nine different games like billiards, archery, table tennis, Mii search, Mii posing, fishing, laser hockey, power charging, tanks. Each game has different ways of playing and rules. In the game, you can use an existing Mii character as your avatar. In this version, players continue to control the characters using the Wii remote.

in any language..hehe

Bummer about the problems. That's usually a video driver or directx version problem. As tech support 'would' say, be sure you've installed the most recent drivers!

For Skins-n-More, as long as you put EAW back to it's original location when you re-install it (i.e. where it is now) you should be OK. Just make sure you copy the 'snmtextures' folder and it's sub-folders somewhere else temporarily then move them back under European Air War and you should be good to go. The data base files are all under 'snmtextures', so if they remain intact you shouldn't lose any registered textures.

Hmmm, I'll have to write a utility to traverse a specified folder and all it's sub-folders and clear the 'read only' attribute - to avoid the manual method for when that 'global' read only thingmie is done..

S! Relent

Now that you have such a bad ass system well all be asking you to host for us on line

I just fired up the Athlon 800, V5-5500 combo, and am having startup problems galore!

Installed DirectX7.0a, and that solved the display issues OK, but my sound is terrible. Soundblaster Live! card and MLi-170 speakers (which are low end, I know), but really crappy sound.

Also, and this is the BIG one, after completeting a mission, when I get into the debriefing screens, the clicker on my mouse quits working! The mouse still moves around all right, and highlites all the choices, but can't select anything, including escape-which means I have to reboot. Any ideas?
