I'd need to have your complete config in order to help you...

Do you select it from the shortcut?

I have a Compaq P3, 256Ram, Win98 with latest updates

I select it by double-clicing its icon in the Explorer...

Btw, I manages to change the sound and resolution by editing the "settings.cfg" (or something like that...) with notepad. I just wondered why I cant open the program...

you're the second person who is reporting this problem and I still don't have a clue why it's not working.

I'll check something when I'm back home and hopefully, I'll be back with a solution.

I don't think you need it if you just want to change the screen resolution. I think it can be done manually, using the settings file.

The inside of teh settings file looks like this:

0
0
0
"SCREEN_SIZE_X 800"
"SCREEN_SIZE_Y 600"
"MUSIC_ON"
"europa.valkyrienet.com"


You just have to change the sizex and size y, Although I think you only have three options, due to game art design.
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

PS
Viper could you tell me what those three flags above screen size do?

I know, read my second post...

But you see, there is a awfull lot of people that dont like to edit files this way, and there is also a bunch that dont know how.
Anyway I consider it a bug that some of us cant start the program, and Viper is obviousley looking into it...

Btw, I would also like to know what the three flags do...

Viper, i got a few calls as well regarding the inability to open the EU2 settings . i honestly have no clue why so.

if i want to make some guesses, i would say something video card related, either the drivers are not up to date or directx needs to be reinstalled. any input on this topic will be helpfull


cheers
