Are you playing stock CoI?
What screen resolution are you playing at?
There are two possibilities, both to do with your video card and/or settings and screen resolution.
1. The smallest screen resolution in CoI are 1024*768.
If you try to play with a smaller map, or set up the resolution to more than the map you want to play, you get "INVALID RECTANGLE ERROR" and the game will crash, boom, bang...
So , try lowering your screen resolution and see if that works.
2.
This is a video driver error. Obtain the latest video drivers for your video card, and make sure DirectX Direct Draw is disabled (as mentioned in "Informs Direct Draw" above). You can also try adjusting your hardware acceleration by Right clicking on your desktop, and going to Properties>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshoot and lowering or increasing hardware acceleration.
