It's running just fine on my 7068 box, but when I try to run the program on 7077, I get this message

ImageShack - Image Hosting :: capturedvi.jpg

I've run it with "recommended settings", tried running it in XP mode, as admin, with visual effects disabled..ect.

Anyone have a suggestion?

All 4 computers now on Win 7 HP. Daughters PC is Win 7, 2.8GHz P4, 1GB DDR,120GB HD. Sons PC is Win 7 HP, 2.26GHz P4, 1GB DDR, 240GB total HD, nVidia geforce 6200. My second computer is Win 7 HP, 2.0GHz AMD 64, 2000GB HD, 1GB DDR2, ATI x1300.
Need to know several things:

Did you upgrade or clean install?
Are your special folders located in the default locations?
Are you installing the game to the default location?s

7077 was a clean install, and I've done the uninstall/reinstall bit. Even cleaned out the registry after the uninstall using CCleaner.

reinstall it again, then update your directx, do not run compatibility mode, and try installing the visual c++ redistributes.

Try something simple, like choosing Run as Administrator... See if that will help.

Also, if this is a Steam game, you can right-click on it in the games tab, and choose properties. Click on the launch options options button (or whatever it says) and put in this:

im running 7077 x64 and it works fine :confused:

if you can try getting 7077 x64, it may work.
also are you downloading combat arms from their site every time you install and reinstall, or do you have it burnt to a disc?

I've got an Athlon 64 3500+ in the machine in question, so I may try that. Problem is if this bug holds it'll delay my switchover to 7 as my daughter and sons machines (they both play this as well) are 32 bit chips (2.2GHz Celeron and 1.5GHz Sempron) and they wont want to lose this game as well. Not to mention my loss of it.

I understand, Then I guess you should revert back to build 7068 as it worked there. There isnt a major difference between the 7077 and 7068
