try running it in comparability mode for Vista SP2. havent played it yet, but theres a chance it'll work.

Ok I fixed this.
What you need to do is:
Create a shortcut leading to your game in Program Files.
Right click - Properties - Compatibility - check "Run this Program in compatibility mode for : and select Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)"
Under that, put checkmarks to " Disable Visual Themes, and Disable Desktop Composition.
That fixed it right up for me.

ok i remember to similar problem and i fixed. thats solution of the problem here: Go to control panel, sound, and change your sound to 16bit 48000hz (DVD). This solved the crashing issue.
have a nice day guys

I don't know if this applies to any of you, but I have a second monitor. I was simply getting a black screen when I started the game as all of you were, but as soon as I disabled it, the game started up and played just fine. So.. yeah. Try disabling your secondary monitors if you have them.

 

[mickey megabyte]

i was lucky and had no problems at all with the game.

if only i could work out how to get past the amphibious assault/cannon-firing stage though...

 

[GlobesStudios]

its easy,
basiccly shoot above the ships
coz the cannon isnt accurate

 

[swarfega]

I bought the steam version which runs fine, see if there are any patches that need installing.

 

[PuSHka]

Hi. I fixed problem with black screen. I have Win 7 32bit. Go to Desktop > RMB > Screen resolution > Multiple displays > select Show desktop only on 1. That's all
