  1. MSSQLSERVER has nothing related to "File and Print Sharing Services", it's Microsoft SQL Server which is required to run Silent Storm games. For XP it's neccessary to install Microsoft sql server desktop engine(MSDE), usually it's installed together with the game. But it's impossible to install MSDE on windows vista and newer windows versions. You may try to install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express, to make message disappear, but you'll have to set up the server so, that the map editor could connect to SQL Server. Because there will be next error about user "sa" which cannot connect to the database. Even if you setup the sa user password correctly, and the editor manages to connect to the database. The server won't allow you to use it, because Microsoft SQL Server 2012 will be unable to upgrade the database... So it really sucks...
  2. Do not reinstall or add anything to your command line, it won't help. The problem is in Intel's opengl library, ig4icd32.dll. wglchoosepixelformatARB() is actually there. As I understand, the problem is in the customized drivers for Intel graphics, which are usually the only option for notebook owners. They cannot be updated, even though there are drivers on Intel's site for regular adapters. Because "vanilla" drivers won't work with customized hardware. So yes, it's a bug of intel driver, it was fixed, but you won't be able to get the update, because the notebook manufacturer customized the hardware and the drivers. And the game developers are not going to fix it, because it's the problem, which the notebook manufacturer made, not them. If the game developers are still willing to try, UFO games fail on wglChoosePixelFormatARB() because of WGL_BIND_TO_TEXTURE_RGBA_ARB
  3. I'm playing the game for the 4-th time and I still can't get more than 3 metal. I'm playing Afterlight 1.4. I've already researched the Warehouse technology but it doesn't help. Yes, now, when i've researched the Warehouse technology i can build Metal Store. But how the hell i can build it if i need 4 Metal to build it and i have "3 (Limited)"??? LIMITED BY WHAT???? I've got 6 metal mines, i'm not trading metal with reticulans. Can anybody tell once and forever what should be built/researched to remove the limited state for each resource? I NEED METAL. P.S. Sometimes I want to kill the game developers for this crazy idea of limiting the resources.
