Thanks mate. Give me a week to go back and test all these you suggested and I'll get back to you.

Yes I downloaded and installed CMSF NATO and CMA but CMA is the one I have been trying to load. I understand what you are saying re NATO but CMA is a stand alone product. Yes I did get licence information I had to enter to download those but they are years old. It does not display as Windows Defender in Task list but just antimalware so hard to tell. Startup tab only has: ASUSWSLoader.exe, Conexant High Definition Audio Filter Agent, Evernote Clipper, iTunesHelper, Java Update Scheduler, Logitech Download Assistance, Microsoft OneDrive, NVIDIA Backend, NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy, SmartAudio CPL 32bit

Yes it is and I've tried all that as well and tried it again just now from your suggestion and it made no difference.

Thanks for the ideas. I followed the knowledgebase article and it made no difference. I then checked Task Manager for security and with it being a brand new laptop it only has some antimalware program which I ended and that didnt help either. Not sure what else to try.

No mine has SmartAudio and I did End Process on that and it made no difference. Thanks for the ideas though.

Its as ASUS ROG laptop

Hi all I bought a new gaming laptop running windows 10 recently and found in my email my old download links from purchasing some of the CM games (not all unfortunately). I downloaded CMA and all the patches and also CMSF NATO. I installed all and applied patches and when I try to run either game my mouse pointer thinks for around 5 seconds and then nothing. I have tried running as administrator and also running in compatibility mode in various windows versions but nothing works. What have I missed?
