Problem resolved! (Sort of)

That is, I am again able to play Quick Combat, the KW F-86 against the Mig-15, without a CTD every time I score a guns kill on a Mig.  The downside is I still haven't tracked down the source of the problem.  Let me explain.

I have an external Drive (G:) for backup and storage.  I had a backup of CFS2 from sometime ago before my problems started so I restored CFS2 to the G Drive and ran it from there.  Presto, I was even able to use the CA-27 Australian F-86 version without CTD on guns kill.

So I'm now in the process of comparing the 2 installs to try to track down what is causing the CTD on the C Drive install.  The first thing I noticed was the F-86 model on the G Drive installation was not the latest but an earlier version, so I tried it on the C Drive install but it made no difference.  I'm still working on it and it may take a long time but at least I can now shoot down a few Migs when I get the urge.

Thanks to all those who tried to help, especially Hagar and Dirt Man! Smiley

An update on the final resolution of this problem which has dogged me for months.  After careful consideration, I decided to copy my external drive copy of CFS2 to my D drive, since CFS2 does not need a registry entry.  Copy was successful and after extensive testing it worked perfectly every time.  I then deleted the malfunctioning copy on my C drive and copied CFS2 to C drive from external.  Again it functioned perfectly, so I now have 2 copies of CFS2, one dedicated to the Fox 4 Korean War series (thanks to TR, Grumpy and all the gang) so I'm a happy camper.  I guess the principal lesson is that with CFS2 it's possible to solve a problem without even finding out what it is or where it came from.  Thanks to all who tried to help me.  Now going out to kill some Migs.   Smiley Cheesy Grin Wink
