Thanks Calvinus. Disabling Desktop Composition did the trick. All the best.

Thanks Calvinus. I have tried points 1 and 2 so I will give point 3 a try.

Cheers.

Hi Calvinus, I have the gold version which runs fine on my PC with XP. But on my laptop (dual core) with win 7 it freezes on the initialising screen after I pick a tutorial/scenario. I've got the latest patch and tried running in single core mode but it still won't load into a game. I can still play...
