Crashboat

My OS is vista, & before the patch I did not see any intro video, or the Kalypso logo. When I install ToW it takes the DVD drive ages to to read the set up data, I have bought another copy of ToW just in case the disk had been scuffed, or scratched, still no joy. I been e-mailing Kalypso support, they have been unable to help so far. I think it is the copyright protection thats the problem, as I had Close combat Normandy(a long time ago), after installing a patch on it the same thing happened.

I got the English version, & have Downloaded the right patch from 1C Publishing EU.

I have installed the Kalypso uber-patch, & ToW will not run, now it asks "Please insert original DVD with the game". which is already in the drive. Before the patch I did not need the disk in the drive when I ran ToW.
