It says that "plato MFC application has encountered a problem ..."
A guy emailed me that I have to change by display settings to 96 dpi--but I have no display setting like that.

Start - Settings - Control Panel
Doubleclick "Display" - click the "Settings" tab - click the "Advanced" button - where it says "DPI Setting" change it to "Normal Size (96 dpi)"

Have you tried to uninstall the entire game and then install with your game CD then apply the patches in sequence?

This is the first time I have heard this suggestion--can do and will report the results.
then apply the patches in sequence?
Do you mean .18 and then .25 and then .26 or what?

Have you tried shutting down other applications before running COG? I do know there is at least one screen saver program that rather rudely shuts off COG's open DirectX handles and causes COG to crash. Would you mind posting your computer's DxDiag file?

Now it works! Didn't have to use the .18 patch.
Learned one thing: you can't play it on a lap top while trying to watch the news! Came back and it was way out of whack! Had to shut it down.
Now I want to compare the partitions of Poland (
