I'm trying to install CMBO:SE on my laptop. it installs fine, and starts up fine, but I can only get as far as the scenario menu without the menu freezing; as soon as I click on a scenario, and then "play scenario", it freezes and doesn't progress to the briefing.
If I alt-tab out and back in, it will progress on, but will then freeze once I try to go to the menu anfter the briefing. alt-tabbing will (eventually) get me as far as the actual playing part, but I'll just have blackness where tanks, troops, terrain, etc. should be. I have a functioning in-game bar with buttons, but no way of playing.
If I click on the hotkeys button, the hotkey list appears, but will not vanish when I click it. again, alt-tabbing makes the hotkey list vanish, but doesn't help with my lack of 3D visuals.
I've searched these forums as much as I can, and read the online help, but the only thing that seemed promising-turning off anti-aliasing-I can't do with my system. I am running:
Windows XP (home edition)
Intel Pentium ii 1.1GHz
240 MB RAM
16MB Trident CyberBlade XP Ai1 (someone else on this forum was haviing trouble with this video card I think, but not the same trouble as me).
Forgive me if i've left out any vital details, computers are soething of a forgein language to me. If anything else could be of help to know, I'll try and find it out.
I've tried updating my video drivers, and no luck. Any ideas on what I can try to make this wonderful game work?
If it matters, I've also tried the CMBB demo, with the same results and trying to run CMBO.
