<t> I'm having the same issue now with 8.4. I wasn't until I changed computers this week. My previous machine was a Sony 16" notebook running XP with 512MB of Ram and a 32MB video card in it... this new one is a HP running XP media edition with a 17" widescreen, 1GB of ram and a 128MB video card in ...

<t> Well things are looking up... I was able to find an updated video driver and after installing it the games loads fine [:D]<br/>
<br/>
Still a bit slow on my dated machine (2 years old), but I'm sure I'll be able to speed it up with some tweaking of the preferences.<br/>
<br/>
Until later,<br ...

<t> The -16 trick did not work... The DirectX file is attached.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Hope you can help. Thanks,<br/>

<t> I have a similar problem... I get through all the intro movies fine, but when the screen gets to the "World at War" screen (the one with a bar in it as if it's loading the game), my computer locks up. I have to reboot...<br/>

I have the latest DirectX (9.03c) and Windows Media Player. My ...

Wonderful Site... Thanks a bunch.

Good Topic... but it will be hard to set SPWaW aside.

How about (1) Uncommon Valor - of course, and later this year (2) Hearts of Iron.

I don't think so.

A video does not really tell us much, but I guess it's better than screen shots alone.

I gotta agree with REMF as well. I'd rather read their descriptions as we had been doing.

Alway's work OK for me, the newest threads on top and active ones keep on the first two pages or so if alot of us are posting.

Just not as fun as it use to be.

So, why does the game require an 8MB video card... The screen shoots haven't enlightened me.

Anyone know the answer?

T"h"anks, Your team is doing a great job!

So, will it play on a 2.5 MB video card?

<t>The enemy (AI) aircraft missions allow me to see the locations of it's troops. Can someone clue me in why this is allowed?<br/>
<br/>
I don't recall this being the case in earlier versions, but since aircraft missions are so few and far between in the game, maybe I just never noticed.<br/>
