I was as Simtropolis and downloaded a few mods (namely the Simoleon Mod V1 and the Industry Quadrupler Mod) and installed them into my plugin folder as per the instructions. I wasn't sure if they were working at first then I started some tests by restarting the game a few times with the mods both in and out of the plugins folder to see the differences and they haven't been woring the entire time. I'm running SC4 deluxe edition and windows Vista. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the mods to work, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for the help in advance.

I never thought of trying to run compatibility mode, have to give it a shot and let everyone know how it works. And the text is unreadable in the fact that its just broken. What shows up of individual letters is nice and crisp, but only about 40% of each letter will show up. That's the best I can explain it. and it seems random as well, depending where it is on the screen, different parts of the letter "e" will be displayed. If anyone can tell me how to post a screen shot I'd be more than happy to do it.

That's an awesome website and I've already downloaded a few of the skins for multiplayer where I don't really have to read objectives, but I couldn't find any fix for the text problem. That modding site is one reason I play star wars games though.

I just picked up my copy of X-wing allinace after many years. Of course my computer is a little better than it used to be and I have a new flat panel monitor, but I'm dissapointed about how the game runs. Frame rate is wonderful and the textrures are good all things considered. The problem is when I crank the resolution up to the maxium the game supports, I can't read any of the text on the screen. This obviously makes the game difficult to play if I can't read anything during a battle. I can't find a specific patch for this anywhere and I do have the most updated version. If anyone can suggest something or help me out in any way, I'd really like to play this game again. I have a 7600GT and a 17" lg flat panel.

I got a 360 last week and I just purchased a ****** USB Network adapter because I think the offical ones are a rip off.  I was told they were pretty easy to install but I can't get my 360 to use it and I just want to play online.  Before anyone asks, I know security isn't the problem because I disabled it for setup to see if I could get it to work and still no dice.  If anyone can help me I'd love it.  Thanks guys.

Yeah, but don't forget that MS processes their shipped and sold the same way Sony does.  So for Sony to ship 6 mil to stores is still no small feat and good for them.

Demonstration mode is what all the retail demo PS3s are in so that users can not update the console, download to or from it, sign in or out of the network, and all that kind of stuff.  I just want to update the PS3 at my place of employment so it will run better.
