Really, every single time? Wow, I haven't seen anyone else report this. try this: uninstall the game, defrag your hard disk, reinstall and then install 1.04 straight away.

Done, Done and Done, I have the UK version, it says it's 1.4

Anyhow, still the same problem.

What do I do?

If I understand you well, you game will stay at, say, January 1st 1750, you can still move your troops and attack everyone, but no one is reacting?

if you let it like that for many minutes (leave the compute unattended), does it finish by taking up to speed?

If you try to run the game without sound, does it still say the same?

Imho, you should try upgrading your Motherboard drivers and BIOS.
