First thank you for your very quick reply (by email).

Quickly and efficiently.

In fact, after looking on the nvidia panel, I managed to disable the second GPU and the game runs (and the "editor").

The configuration applet Does not work (I have XP home, "without" admistrator), but if the game options match, not a big problem (although there is a little lag ...) . that was missing options in the game are they important? they are changed by other means?

Hi,

I just bought TOW2, but cannot play it :

i'm experiencing a strange crash of the game, very quick blue screen of death immediately followed by a reboot of my PC

This crash happens when the game finishes loading (the red circle loading track is completed)

otherwise the rest seems to work fine , ie encyclopedia, settings ....

I installed latest patches. I installed latest video drivers.

and yes one more odd thing : the configuration menu does not work : it simply don't launch.

i give you a dxdiag view ; if someone got an idea ...
