(note: I guess a mod moved this, it was posted in technical support because I thought someone might have some useful information there but not look here.)

I have a XP second edition box. AMD 2.4, 1.5g ddr ram, radeon 96000 card. I install Dune 2000 using 95 compatibility mode and run in same. I have installed the patch into the Dune2000 folder. Everything works fine (the movies stall, but will play). However, When I get to the levels where I should be able to upgrade my construction yard, I can't. It just remains greyed out and doesn't let me activate it. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them. I just really wan't to knock out the adventures and it's a pain with out rocket turrets. Your help will be greatly appreciated. I'm even willing to accept a hack (to let me do what I should be able to)

I've re-installed it twice, once running even the install program in Win95 compatibility mode. Could it have something to do with my being unable to register it (since the WW server is down)?

If anyone has a cheat that allows instant upgrade for CY or something I'd love to get it. I want to wade my way through the three vs computer scenarios and it just doesn't work if you can't build missle turrets.

Yeah, 1.06. I also run it in 95 compatibility mode. I checked on practice and it starts with 2x2 then upgrades to 3x3.

I just rebought the game last week and so far this forum has been great help getting Dune 2k to work on my XP box. Not sure if this is an actual issue or if I'm just misremembering. I'm playing the solo games and I don't seem to be able to upgrade my CY. If I remember correctly I should be able to upgrade by the 4th or 5th mission. But I don't see upgrade until I build a barracks, or light/heavy factory. Then when I hit upgrade the CY is there but greyed out. I've played up to the first mission where the High Tech factory is available to be built and I'm really sure it's available by then, but I could be wrong. The upgrade option is available when I go to practice though. Is this an issue or am I misremembering, and if it is an issue does anyone have a solution?
