can't even start

When I run CCS.exe, a small, blank, white window comes up then the error message "Derect3D Init Failed - No Windowed Mode" ... so, I click 'OK'
then another message: Direct Draw Init Failed - BLTFAST.
I click 'OK' again and a big blank white window appears with the toolbar across the top.
I've tried F9, selecting F10 from the tool bar - and everything else, but no go.
....anybody?

There may be a problem with the DirectX installed on your PC - perhaps try to re-install it, it is available from Microsoft or other souces. Otherwise, it sounds like a DirectX incompatibility with your graphics card/driver - try installing a more up-to-date graphics driver.
Try also making sure than nothing is running apart from CCS64, since another application may have exclusive access to the graphics sub-system that CCS64 may require in Full-Screen Mode.
