Opening problems with Europe at War

Post by pwilding »

I downloaded Comander Europe at War successfully but when I open the desktop icon I get 3 seconds of the introtune and then the game shuts down. Any suggestions please? :cry:

It happened to me too...it´s the damn Vista.

Instead of clicking on the desktop icon just right-click over it and choose "open/run as administrator". It would ask if you really want to run this application (yes I DO, stupid Windows Vista!) and then the program would run with no further problems.

language problems

I have just purchased Europe at war. When I opened it for the first time I was presented with a series of flags. I thought this allowed users to pick a country - so I picked Spain for my first game (nice and safe). The game is now all in Spanish - which I cannot speak. How can I reset the game to play using the English language, thanks!
