Hey guys.
I managed to find a secondhand copy of Close Combat 5 today in a tip shop for $3, what a score!
I have installed the game but I keep getting this "Can't access surface for lock" error.
I have consulted the 'error-guide' on your website and it informs me that my problem is apparently due to 'direct draw' being enabled. Through the wonderful application of CC Starter I managed to disable direct draw (a system check confirms that it is disabled) but I am still having the same error message pop up every time I attempt to play a battle.
Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this problem?

Never mind!
How I fixed the error:
I copied the map files from my newly bought second hand CD and pasted them into my downloaded version of CC5 (with incomplete map files, it was missing the .bgm files for some reason).
The downloaded version of CC5 works fine with the full map files, but for some reason the CD version just won't work.
I suspect that it has something to do with the version of CC5 (even though I downloaded the necessary patch for the CD version).
Oh well, at least I can play the damn game now - after hours and hours of trial and error!
