what OS you running ? if it is windows XP, try rightclicking on the start icon, go to the bottom and click there then go to compatabity, and check the box and pick windows 95 or 98 and then click apply and give it a try

don't know if that will help with BTR, but it helps with BoB

other then that, you need one of the master blasters to help

(when you patched it, was it a installer or the patch from the link up top ?, if so, just in case, you put all of the files into the Dat folder, and then you place the BTR.exe (may say BTR.blk) into the main BTR folder, and then use that one to start the game, I just tried it and it works for me)

[&:]
you can give two different orders -

click onto the unit and the whole Gruppe/Staffel/Stab will launch
click on "launch X " ( number is usually 3, but if a unit is smaller it can be 1 or 2 " ) to launch only few A/C of a unit.
