nvm... i deleted the language.dll in the windows folder and the game came up!!!
 
thanks for the help

Ran the patch. Now I get an error that says "Delete your Language.dll file" and the error window title bar indicates "corrupt language.dll"

I checked the folder but there are deutsch, english, espanol, francais and italia.dll files. No file named "language.dll".

<t> Nope... didn't work. Renamed all the files listed and tried. Still nothing. <br/>

Funny thing is, I purchased Carriers at War, TOAW III and Harpoon 3. Installed all 3. TOAW III is the ONLY ONE that DOESN'T work! The other 2 worked fine from the first click!<br/>
<br/>
Any other ...

<t> I just installed TOAW III on my PC. 2GHz box running Windows XP. I can load the game menu, all the links work except "PLAY". I can load the manual and all of the other links. I also tried to start the game by using the "Quick Start" icon. Neither works. <br/>
<br/>
I get NO error messages. <br ...
