Screen problem
The screen is "blinking" every 3-5 seconds or so running the game on my laptop. It's just a very short blink, like the whole screen is going black/loses graphical output for some ms and then back to normal. Nothing seems affected gamewise. Real annoying, and I feel it perhaps could damage my LCD screen, or hardware in the long run. Anyone has the same problem on a laptop?

Well, I don't think so. If the refresh rate was the thing it would affect every other game/application I run on the machine. I think it is a software related issue... screen draw routines or something.
It would be of more help if different problems were put in their own threads.
Thank you
Thank you

I believe this is a CTD thread right?
Well I have a CTD problem. The same as I have with EU2 when I run it in 1024/768, it load the first screen and then back to desktop without ending the game...I just have to click really fast with my mouse at the HOI/EU2 button to get back into the game. ...Well EU2 runs fine in 800/600 but HoI doesn't. I haven't begun playing the actual game yet...just the tutorial. And many times the game crashes to desktop when I either start a tutorial or end a tutorial....but also sometimes inside the tutorial. I have the music running from the CD.
Oh yeah I forgot I have installed the 1.1 patch! And I have the scandinavian version..

Ralli this reminds me a lot of my problems. The game just crashes and I must rename the music-folder to get in to the game at all(or else - CTD..)
So right now I only play with no music and try to save at least every 5 secs to avoid a crash.
So right now I only play with no music and try to save at least every 5 secs to avoid a crash.
Same problem with music and CTD as everyone else here. But since it seems it's because of me using DirectX 8.2 I hope Patric finds that quick solution soon.
Lets start a new thread for each problem so it is easier to keep everything organized.
