Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
4) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.
 
Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.
 
Um I never gave that advice to you since you never started a thread to ask for help.

I give advice that is apropriate to the situation, it just happens that those things help most people. And the fact that your system crashes a lot does mean something needs fixed on your end since it runs with no crashes on my system and the vast vast majority of people have no problems as evidenced by how few threads there are on this forum.

I think you will find my willingness to work with you to solve these crashes much higher if you start your posting career on this board with a better attitude. ;)
 
Well if they have problems they should come to me, If it is a bug, ie Reproducible then they should follow the instructions in the sticky thread. The next patch will fix all identified bugs. If you know anything about Paradox you know it has an exemplary reputation for releasing patches that not only fix problems but often add many new features. For example EU2 was released 3 and a half years ago and still new features and enhancements are being released. I don't know many if any games that have ever done that. Also note that review copies are often pre gold copies.
And no I am not paid to be "willing" to help anyone. If you are abusive you not only get no help, you get banned from the board.
 
If you want help with a problem please first read the sticky thread " **** You must read this before posting **** " Then start your own thread.
 
Glad you feel that way and thank-you for your kind comments.
Feel free to come back and post here if you have any future problems.
I hope you get involved and participate in the general forum.
 
Well, see my post #2, also try loading in the autosave or oldautosave games and see if you can continue from them.
 
A mirror, just means "the same thing" When you look in a mirror you see a "copy" of yourself.

So if someone puts a file up on the web at one site, and others take that and put it on thier site, then it is a Mirror. An alternative place to get the same file.

So I don't know where you saw the word used, but all the Mirrors should be pointing to the same file HOI2 1.1 and you would only need one of them.
 
If you look through your report, you will see that Direct X is reporting errors, it suggests a reinstall, you have a messd up registry entries.
 
You managed to fix it up, great!
 
Well did you fix the DirectX errors?
