I have installed Doomsday and the patch, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.3a and everytime the game crashes at the same place.The game crashes during loading page at INITIALIZING GRAPHICS....
I tried re-installing, un-installing and even installing on a different partition but nothing works.I tried without patches but it wouldn't work so I installed the patches, I started the game after installing each patch bit the game always crashes at the same place. I have already renamed avi folder to avi.old and that won't help.Here is the Dxdiag and I can't update me graphic card driver cz I have the latest version.The res on my PC is 1024X768:

Can anyone help me please?

Click to expand...

There must be a space between "whatever\HOI2.exe" and WINDOWED in the command line, otherwise you get the 'target box' error.
 
I have downloaded the driver that was posted in november 2006 ( that is the latest) but that is the driver I already have.

When I run game WINDOWED in 32 bit a window pops out saying that it can't load a movie, when i click ignore the game crashes.In normal mode the game crashes as always.

Windowed and normal mode on 16 bit the game also crashes on the same place.

I realy don't know what to do.Anymore ideas please or should i just trow the towel?
 
I have the same problem.

I have the exact same problem. During the loadingscreen, at the "initializing graphics"-message, i get the windows-message "Hearts of Iron 2 has stopped working.".

I'm using windows 7 on a Eee Pc 1101HA.
 
Thanks. That link didn't actually help, you see I have one of the new Eee PC's with the native resolution 1366*768. I think it has something to do with my graphic drivers - but that's just a hunch I have... Does anyone out there know what to do? I cannot access and change "hardware acceleration" with my current (and only attainable) driver, perhaps that is the source of the problem?
