I usually name my first colony "expansion" and my fist large finance planet "Ultra". It's a habit I have from My MOO2 days.

As amazing as it seems, I am able to get my wife distracted with it occasionally. This game was easy becouse I hooked her on MOO2 years ago. Believe it or not, that is the best way to get by with playing myself. She doesn't gripe about me being on the computer near as much if she's there too. So, guys, new strategy. Talk you wives/girlfriends into playing. Just make sure you have another computer so you don't get booted off.

Thanks. That seems to have done it. I copied my games directory from my documents to hers and I also went into the security setings and gave her unrestricted access to the stardock directory. I don't really know wich one helped, but problem solved. Thanks again.

I've got a problem here. I'm useing XP Pro set up for different users. On my wifes accout, when she tries to play the game, none of the stars are named except her home system. In other systems the planets are named I,II,III,IV. No starname is included. I'm betting this could get a little confusing, not knowing wich planet III is being discussed. Anyone have any Ideas?

For some reason I can't make out the area of effect circles for constructors on my desktop. When I play my game on my laptop it works fine, but on my desktop I really have to struggle to see it. Could it be my graphics card? I only have a fx5500 on my desktop as opposed to a 6800 on my laptop. Both cards make the system requirements though. Could it be the monitor I'm Using? I'm using the latest version of the game, with the collectors addition. Anywone have this problem or a solut
