Thx for your help, but no, my processor ain't overclocked, and I don't feel like reverting from detonator drivers, as they are perfect for other games (yup, there is life outside wargames ). But I actually HAVE formatted my HD, as other problems occured in the meantime, so I'll download the demo again tonight, and with a little luck all will be fine...

Hi Just DLded the demo, but it keeps crashing right when I try to launch it. A window 'Unhandled exception c0000005 at address 004bf538' appears. When I close, another appears with the same msg but for address 004c2b95'. When I close that one, I got the feared 'Red Cross' window with, as details, the following: COMBAT MISSION DEMO caused an invalid page fault in module COMBAT MISSION DEMO.EXE at 015f:004c2b95. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=015f EIP=004c2b95 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=00000000 SS=0167 ESP=007bee3c EBP=00582348 ECX=0069f016 DS=0167 ESI=00007ef6 FS=108f EDX=006a0000 ES=0167 EDI=007bee88 GS=0f07 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 18 50 ff 53 64 8b 4d 78 e8 dd 53 00 00 5d 5b Stack dump: 00582348 00000000 004c2cc0 00000000 007beee0 bff7363b 00000998 00000047 00000000 007beea0 007bee88 00007ef6 007beed2 004be4ef 00000998 0000001c Double dutch to me, but I hope it helps I have a PII Celeron 400(128k), a TNT 1 with the detonator 5.22 drivers, and direct X 7 is installed. Out of despair, I even reinstalled Win98, to no effect (except that the first address changed in the crash window). No, I won't format my HD! Thx for anyone who could help; sorry for approximate english Nounet
