(I bought the game in Michigan this morning, BTW)

Here's my problem: I installed Panzer Elite, but that's as far as I can get. I did a full installation, and I ran the Psygnosis "3d configuration" program as the manual suggests. When I start the program, however, I see the Psygnosis movie, the Panzer Elite Movie, and then the rendered still-scene (a ruined town) with the Wings web-site logo in the lower left corner. And there I'm stuck. No menus appear, and no mouse pointer. If I touch a mouse button, I hear a "click" but nothing happens. If I hit Shift, Esc, or Enter, the program crashes to the desktop.

I have a Gateway P2-400 (not overclocked) and an STB Velocity 4400 TNT1 card. I've followed the Readme's configuration suggestions. I have all my latest drivers, and have recently done a clean reinstallation of Win95. Every other game I install (e.g. Rogue Spear, EAW, Falcon 4, Starfleet Command) works fine.

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? I've been waiting for a year to play Panzer Elite, and it's frustrating to be stuck now. Thanks.

The patch on the Wings website is for the beta testers, and it has nothing to do with the release version of the game. I don't know why they haven't removed it now that the beta test is over.

As for my problem (start of thread), the problem appears to be in my sound card drivers. This is a bummer, since I have all the latest drivers for my machine.

See the bulletin board at Wingssimulations.com for more discussion.

SOOOO....went out last night and scraped up $75 for a Monster Sound II MX300 and just installed it. Not only does it sound a hell of alot better but the game runs now flawlessly the 1st time! Thanx guys! Great game...have yet to finish lookin at it all and playin it but so far so good.
