Greetings to All

Can someone tell me whether hotseat multiplayer for the original grand campaign works on their machines?

My understanding is that it should work in the same way as it does for the four new campaigns, yet when I run the original MTW2 the option isn't available.

Then it gets complicated (to me anyway).

I looked at the game folder and noticed a new application "kingdoms.exe". Ah! I thought, the launcher is pointing me to the wrong exe file, which is why the new hotseat mode isn't available. So, I tried launncing kingdoms, and was told I had the wrong disk. I changed discs and was still told I had the wrong disk.

I have tried this on two PCs with the same results.

It may be just a hangover speaking, and I'm missing the patently obvious, but can someone help please?

Thanks

Carl
