Hi, I just recieved HOI anthology and have installed HOI2, Doomsday and Armageddon on my pc (thanks to a very helpful post on this excellent forum) which has the Vista home premium operating system, the game loads and the game menu appears but as soon as I click on tutorial or start game it says HOI 2 has stopped working and windows will search for a solution to the problem then just returns to desktop.
I have actually got the game to work twice in about 30 attempts but as you can guess this is quite frustrating. This happens with HOI 2, Doomsday or Armaggedon. I would be very grateful if someone could help i'm really itching to get going on what looks a fantastic game. :rolleyes:

Mearc,

Do you by any chance have Service pack one installed on Vista? If so I wonder if you are having the same problem I am (see my post below).

Hi Doc, I don't think i have service pack one yet, I have auto updates switched on but i'm not sure if SP 1 is available on auto update yet and I haven't installed it manually.

Ya, it is strange I am getting a crash at the exact same point, only mine worked fine until SP1.

:rolleyes: I will give it another try tonight but I am sure I know what the result will be. :(
I hope you get it sorted I don't really understand as yesterday I was half the day trying to sort it with no luck and now all of a sudden for no apparent reason it wants to work. :) Might be different tomorrow!
