VICTORY! I went to the Dell web site and downloaded the latest driver for my video card. I am running ToS in Win7 mode with visual themes, desktop composition and high DPI disabled. Working great so far. Thanks to everyone for all your help.

I reinstalled 1.2.1 and am running into the same faults. In the ToS directory there are two applications: 'autorun' and 'tos_ws'. does it matter which one I right click for compatibility? both?

Thanks for the help so far. I'm really itching for some giant robot destruction.

I downloaded the freeware (1.2.1) and installed the patch on top of that. I suppose I could try a reinstall. I just extract 1.2.7 into the ToS directory, right?

the game freezes. it freezes during all the opening credit screens but I can alt-tab to the command screen. there is usually no mouse cursor, and if one shows up, I cannot move it or select anything.

dx 11, .net 4.5.1, integrated intel video card (8.15.10.2361).

running patch 1.2.7

thanks.

<t> I have tried installing the retail and freeware versions of Titans of Steel on Windows 7 and cannot get the game to work. I have tried the compatibility settings and searched the forums and google. Does anyone know how to get the game to work?<br/>

Thank you for your help.<br/>
