> That's weird. Is it running out of memory? How much memory have you got?

No, no memory problem. I also checked CPU and ant other little things that could have interfered

But as I mentioned :

> but I suppose this doesnt matter because all of the three programmes I mentiones work properly with all of the mix files from every game of C&C I have installed.

That's right... Everything works TOTALLY PROPERLY

This happens only and ONLY with the main.MIX. With nothing else.

I had not experienced any problem/bug/disturbance. All of the three programmes AND MY PC are working PROPERLY.

I dont know what might cause these problems

I had not found a solution

Any help or any alternative solution to open the damned main.mix would be appreciated

Thank you very much for your help Olaf
