I'm having some fairly large problems with 1.03NA myself, as I can't get the game to load any scenario. :(

I'm running WinXP with SP1, 1.6ghz P4, 14.7gigs Free Space of HDD, 510mb RAM, Nvidia GF4Ti4200, and SBLiveMP3.

I start the game, everything goes well, though it is a bit slower to load than it was under 1.02, but I just figured that was supposed to happen. Intro movies play just fine, sound is there, music kicks in nicely, everything looks great. I go to start a SP game, click on a scenario, it starts to load, but as soon as it gets half to three-quarters of the way loaded with the 'Reading Scenario' line showing at the bottom, the game freezes up, and won't go anyfurther.

So that means I have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete my way out of the frozen screen, which doesn't always work by the way, to exit the game... I got it to work with 1.03 twice, everything went fine, but after that one game, playing as Latvia, it won't play. :(

I was running it at 1024x728 at first, but didn't like the size of it, so I switched over to 800x600 in early '36, everything went well, but it crashed on the autosave sometime in mid '37, I didn't note the exact date unfortunately, so I went to restart it, and now nothing will load at all...

I'm trying to figure out a way to fix this without a re-install, but as far as I can see, that will most likely be my only option here... Any thoughts anyone? :confused:

Forgot free space on disk thing...:D
 
It might also help to mention that I got the patch itself from Strategy First's website. :)
 
First thing to try is renaming your AVI folder to AVI_Back.
 
Just tried it, but still no change... It locks up halfway to loading the scenario. :(
 
Make sure you have the latest deivers for everything, If that does not work, wipe everything to do with HOI from your system including deleteing all folders and clean the registry.
Then reinstall and just apply the official 1.03 and see what happens.
 
Great, happy world dommination. :)
