That's a good thing, stability. [;)] I tried to run it on my year old (Dell Inspiron 1545) laptop and it freezes every time at the very start. However it runs excellent on my desktop. My laptop has a video card in it that has been trouble for some newer games and this is one of them. However, it runs Empire Total War flawlessly. You just never can tell until you actually run a game as to whether it will work or not. [8|]

OK. I realize this isn't the Relic tech support forum but I bought DOW - Soulstorm, launched and played it a couple times, then tried to launch it again and now I get a window that says there was a problem with the program and if I want to report it to Microsoft. I've tried the video config utility a couple times and even ran a repair of the program. I sort of hate to reinstall it but unless anyone knows of another thing to try I'll have to uninstall then reinstall. [:(]

Now I know where the ideas for Company of Heroes came from.

That pos click-fest game actually had ideas? 

Not to mention, just 1 campaign with only 15 short missions, and only being able to play as the bloody damn Americans makes this one of the most over-priced games in my books.  The only good thing about it being so short was that I didn't have to play it any more to claim I actually finished the damn thing :P

Seems every time I try to peek what's outside of the turn-based world...
