Fails at startup everytime

[unmerged(55539)]

Every time I start HOI2 for the first time that day the game freezes up and reboots my computer. After that it's fine. It does this everytime!!! Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? None of my other games do this,only HOI2.

Welcome to the forum

Try this first:

1) Make sure you have the latest patch for the game.
2) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
3) Set the color depth to 16BIT
4) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
5) Run a Virus check and a Adware/Spybot checker
6) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-4.

Good luck.

Let me know if my standard advice does not fix the problem.
