Sadly here in the UK a new Hard Drive repair costs about half the cost of a new laptop, about £100 / $120 against £200 / $240
There comes a point where if it has been repaired twice, there is no point repairing a third time...

£200 gaming laptop?!  Reads more like the price of a cheap Chromebook.

A mid-range gaming laptop is £1400!

This issue has been resolved today 

Main-PC confirmed as Hard Drive failure (£105 to replace)

Profiles swapped and cloned
So both laptops are identical again 

Contract sent to third party, to permit laptops to be swapped, which was confirmed very quickly

The software was running without any issues on Laptop-Two
This laptop has now been renamed as Main-PC

Attempting to reinstall, after not having played for some time, appear to have run into the same problem and cannot really find what is causing the issue and subsequently a solution

The Hard Drive was replaced in October 2019
Windows 10 v1909 build 18363.778
Set language to English US
Set voice to English US and completed voice configuration
Installed only Tower2011m-sp4.exe

As before, the program loads but does not start, tested with St Thomas and Miami
What I have noticed is the game.log file has a final entry (after the voice related commands have loaded) : 
THREE hundreds SIXTY value:  360
----------------------
failed to build

Installed Tower 2011 SE on my replacement desktop PC
No issues
Intel i5-3470
8GB RAM
Shared 1GB VRAM 

I am just waiting for the Dedicated Graphics Card and an additional 16GB RAM before I install Tower 3D Pro

A slight error made by the retailer though
I ordered two identical monitors, but only one arrived
They accepted the error when I sent them the delivery note and labels from the boxes, marked 1 of 2 and 2 of 2, clearly should be 3 boxes
One side has Pick 2 but the other has 1, suggesting who prepared the box only looked at the delivery side, not the picking side!

I assume Tower 3D Pro can operate two screens
What about Tower 2011 SE ?

Decided to test today, as I wanted to look at some of the elements in EGLL

The program is very slow to load and sometimes does not respond at all
Almost identical to the issue on my laptops since October 2019
This suggests the issue is with Windows 10 v 1909

Eventually the Speech Recognition appears, but does not appear to be active

Noticed in the
game.log 
file it appears to stop once the schedule file has been processed for 8 hours from game start time

I therefore uninstalled and only installed
Tower2011m-sp4.exe

This made no difference

Any advice welcome on how to get Tower 2011 to run
