[Crashes on launch can't even licence]

For the record I didn't have the Kaspersky toolbar installed - I always hang shy of installing all these "free toolbars" (apart from Battlefront of course!!).

So it was the main Kaspersky program that seems to have been at fault for me.

Thanks I've ended up having to uninstall Kaspersky entirely and replace it with AVG free and that then lets me get the game running - Hooray!! Onwards to Berlin!

Thanks for the response I have already switched off the antivirus (Kaspersky).

Interestingly I have just installed the Demo version and that runs straight away with no problem!

sorry that should be an ATI 5750 HD card.

I already have all of the other Strategic Command games installed and working on my PC.

On installing SCWW1 it appears to install correctly - I go to lauch the game and get the screen offering play now or buy now i then after about 10-15 seconds get a windows error message saying that SCWW1 has crashed and windows is looking for a solution (which of course it never finds!).

If I am quick on the mouse and keyboard I can press the licence option enter the key but then it crashes again with the same message.

I am running windows Vista Service pack 2 with ans ATI 750 graphics card and the latest drivers for video and sound.

The programme is installed on the same drive as the other SC games that work.

I have tried using compatability mode and removing windows vista desktop themes etc using the properties box. I have tried running it as administrator and I have used "End it All" to close as many programmes from background as possible.

It still refuses to work - I have applied the hot fix it still refuses to work - given the other games in the series run fine I cannot understand why this keeps crashing.

Any ideas?

Thoroughly frustrated so far
