All of a sudden the other I was about to play the Crusaders campaign when I got a Windows error that said it would have to shut down CFS. In the details it something about FE.DLL. I did a little experimenting (Yeah Right, a little) and found out it only happens when I add a campaign or mission to CFS. Its always worked fine until now. I've never had a problem with add-on Campaigns or missions. Does anybody have any idea what FE.DLL does or why my campaigns and missions all of a sudden won't work? PLEASE HELP

Sorry Tiger. I've been supporting CFS1 since soon after it was first released back in 1998. I reckon to know as much about it as anyone here. I've never come across this problem before in over 5 years of troubleshooting all kinds of problems. I can only suggest an Uninstall/Install which fixes most problems with CFS1 without affecting your addons. You would have to reactivate any 3rd party scenery via the Scenery Library. If that doesn't fix it a "Full Uninstall" should do it. Uninstall from the option on the CD then exit setup & delete the CFS1 root directory folder before doing a completely fresh install. Back up any addons you wish to keep first.

Alternatively, you could try a duplicate install of CFS1. Rename the CFS1 root directory folder to any other name. Then insert the CD & install in the usual way. You will then have 2 separate installs of CFS1 that will run independently. This is useful for troubleshooting & the most effective way of backing up.

I Figured it out. Somehow I missed the fact that I had installed some dynamic scenery. Strangely, it didn't act up until I added a campaign afterwards. Anyways, I'm glad to be done with that. (I had to reinstall about 20 times. )
