I seem to have answered my own problem - I launched the game with the 'run as administrator' option. I have no idea why this allows the game to work but it does. Hope this helps soomeone else.

Just 'upgraded' [cough, cough ] to Vista and have encountered my first incompatability. My problems are thus: i. Everytime I launch TOW it asks if I'm happy with my resolution changes. ii. In the unit deployment screen I have to click twice on the move to/from reserves buttons to actually move a unit to or from the reserves. On the first click the button moves and goes 'click' but nothing happens, and on the second click it actually moves the unit. iii. When the mission loads the intro video doesn't play (I loaded the recommended Window Media viewer codec during instalation). iv. After the blank intro movie all I can see is the command bar overlayed on the reinforcements deployment screen (whose buttons I can still click but do nothing). I can hear things going on in the 3D world. v. At this point, being unable to bring up any menus I have to Alt-tab out and End Process to quit. All worked dandly in XP, but please don't say I was asking for it moving to Vista - it is very pretty honest! (and for me some other things actually work that didn't work in XP!) Any ideas, help or similar stories welcome! System: Vista Core 2 Duo E6600 8800Gtx w/158.24 drivers 2GB RAM Samsung 204BW + LG Flatron L1710B in 'single monitor performance mode'.

Ta, I'll give this a go!

Solution found to my woes here: http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=66&t=000083#000001 Basically, turn off dual monitors in Nvidia control panel. As a workaround this is brilliant but I hope this gets sorted so I won't need to always reconfigure my displays to play TOW.

It has, fantastic!

Excellent idea!

Same with me, which makes one think that it's not to due to our graphics cards being incapable but some kind of program compatibility issue. I did. Made 1 or 2 fps difference.

Excellent news, 'cause the game it self looks like it's going to be sucking up a lot of my life once it's up and running properly! :cool:

My system: Asus P5B-E MB E6600 Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM Nvidia 8800GTX Nvidia 97.94 drivers and 158.19 Downloaded the demo, max settings @ 1680x1050, played first training mission and everything was buttery smooth, but when went to second mission it became stutter city??! Loaded FRAPS and checked FPS; I'm getting about 5-8fps with above settings, and upto 10fps with all settings at Low @ 1024x768. Tried using one core but this slowed things down even more! Gone through the various tweaks suggested in this forum to no avail. Due to the very poor performance I'm getting I must be suffering from a rather drastic incompatibility. Will try a reinstall this evening and see if that helps.
