Help! My Hearts of Iron always used to work, but yesterday I tryed minimizing the screen, which I've obviously done before, but now when I clck on it to maxime, it's starts opening but then goes back to the desktop, so I can't play it or even save. I know the game is working; the music plays fine. On task manager, it says it is running, but pressing switch to gives the same result. :mad: :( :confused:
 
How much memory are you running with?

What other apps are you running?

Whats the size of you pagefile - look in virtual memory?

When you see the black screen, make sure that you click on it with the mouse pointer, to return the emphasis on the game window.

...wait...

...wait some more...

...wait even longer...

It may take some time, but eventually it will return!
 
Try Alt-TAB.
Also rename your AVI folder to AVI_back. and set your color depth to 16BIT.
 
I think it might have been my ram...exiting another program allowed me to run HOI. Thanks for your help
 
Best to always shutdown other programs when running a game.
Glad you got it worked out.
 
Other programs running can interfere with game proformance as well.
