I have a technical problem that I need your help with please. I read the stickies but I still have the following problem:

When I double click on the HoI2 icon, the HoI2 presenting screen appears for 30 sek while the program reads the disk in the CD-ROM drive. Then it stops, the presenting screen disappears and nothing more happens.

BTW EU2 will not load either on this machine, while Victoria and Crusader Kings loads fine.

I do not think this is produced by lack of ressources on the PC, as all the mentioned games loads on a much slower Pentium II with less of all types of ressources.
