I installed Windows 7 today and had to reinstall all the FOG versions and then ROR, SOA & stopped at IF as it needed the latest update to be installed. Anyway when I finally tried to run the program it came up an error message. I copied the message and it read as follows

util.GameStoppedException
1.2.9 2010 07 15
{The following controls are missing from the window winNewGame tcbDoubleMoves tcbFogOfWar tpopupAIArmyBook tpopupHandicap ttAIArmyBook ttFogOfWar } uiplayer.htk.TWindowImp.GiveReferencesToControls o uiplayer.ControlContainer o uiplayer.htk.TControl uiplayer.htk.TWindowImp.tWindowCreate o uiplayer.htk.TWindowImp so uiplayer.htk.GraphicsArea o XmlElement uiplayer.htk.GraphicsArea.LoadWindowNormal o uiplayer.htk.GraphicsArea o XmlElement uiplayer.htk.GraphicsArea.LoadWindows o uiplayer.htk.GraphicsArea o XmlNode

I'm stuck now as I can't run the program at all. Can you help?

thanks

Sound similar to Morbio's problem which is solved. Look down the list to find it, but in a nutshell you may need to clean your registry and reinstall.

Here's a list of my problems and the solution viewtopic.php?t=19512

I suggest looking at the last post and maybe look at the log file - it may give a clue to where the problem lies.

Thanks..I saw those but had a slightly different error message so thought it was worth posting in case there was some generic problem with windows 7 that needed fixing. However I didn't have the 1.3.3 patch which once i downloaded all was fine. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. No I can get back to the fun of updating drivers and all the other good stuff you get to do with a windows OS change.
