Hailz! I think i figured it out!!! Do a fresh install of xp and mech on an old hd, plug it in to the new tower, open bios and change boot order so that the old hd loads first, and mech should run no problem.......Right????

Wow, its really good to see a few more friendly names (faces) from the past. I have a ***** load of contacts from CAN in my MSN....only probalem is I havn't used MSN for ever and it has forgotten me. :( Really nice to see you Volt, Polar, Slash, Biggie, Fear and of course you to AL. Been a very long time since I was down to your house in Stinky John. :).Where is Bubba?...I can't wait to hear you all again on Comms. I probably won't be able to get the grin off my face for days. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Are you running it on xp or win 7?

Make sure you have updated drivers for your video card first.

If you are on win 7 run in win xp (Sp4) compatibility mode

Either way run as administrator.

Also, under your shortcut properties, put --- "C:\Program Files (x86)\MekTek.net\Mechwarrior Mercenaries - Mektek Mekpak\MW4Mercs.exe" /gosNoJoystick /gosNoVideo" under the shortcut tab in the Target field.

Let me know what's missing, I get people connected on MP3.1 online regularly.
Just had to re-install myself the whole thing. Wasn't that bad.

BC here. A little bit of a newbie, I've played both Vengeance and Mercenaries, I'd love to join a Canadian group!

I also have Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries successfully installed on two Windows 7 machines, so I can play whenever.

(Copied from recruitment thread)
Callsign: Fireproofjeans (Fyre)
Timezone: -8:00 (Pacific Standard Time, North America West Coast)
House/Faction: Undetermined (Not familiar enough with Lore to make a good decision)
Playstyle: Laser Boat or Missile Boat, Heavy Hitting, All Ranges.
Roletype: Flexible
Preferred Weight: Flexible.
Experience: MW4:Vengeance and Mercenaries. Not sure of relative skill level versus other players.

I'm flexible. I have favourite 'mechs in every weight category, and I usually have long and short range variants of those 'mechs. I do tend to prefer single big-hit weapon loadouts, such as dual PPC or large arrays of missiles, but I'm willing to use low-damage-sustained-fire loadouts and unfamiliar 'mechs if desired. I enjoy piloting both lumbering powerhouses and zippy scouts, so I can fill pretty much any role you need.

As far as personality goes, I'm easy-going, enjoy humor, and don't mind running in formation. I can follow reasonable orders ("Attack my target", "Form on me", "Go to alpha" sort of thing, not "Go where my mouse is pointing", because I can't see your screen)

On the other hand, I dislike drama, and won't put up with ridiculous expectations (expecting me to call in sick to work, cut class, spend my money for the group, power tripping, extreme micromanaging) I AM willing to donate time if I have some to spare, and I will try to cover shifts to be at battles, I'm just not going to put my life on hold for a game.

I do have a life, so I can't be at your beck and call, but if you set a date I'll do my best to be there.

tl,dr; I have my own ride, but I'll pilot whatever you want me to - I go with the flow.
