PBEM glitches, anyone?

FM WarB,

What scenario in which title are you playing? I assume you both checked that you are playing on the same and latest version. Some titles have been patched for known VISTA OS issues already.

It sounds like one or both of you have more than one scenario going in the same PzC title. If you do not fully exit the game, then restart the game when loading a new save game file, the replay files can get confused.

To solve the problem of not being able to move his units, have him check the little button in the bottom right hand corner. If that button is red, then he can not play the turn. To solve this, exit the game, restart, then reload the save game file. I have skipped the replay, then after canceling the turn status dialog, everything works. Sometimes the save game will need to be reloaded to the game directory before trying any of this routine to get the game going.

If your really stuck, one of you send send me the last turn and password and I'll try to fix the file. Naturally, you can try HPS support if you think it is purely a Direct X problem between the VISTA and XP OS. That is possible, though I have not heard of it.
