ToW1 and the New OS Windows 7

[AleMichi]

I installed ToW1 with the new OS Windows 7 and it runs, but after upload with any patch (Uber, mission_pack, addon, Jsh o other) it not runs!

I am afraid of the future of this excellent game.

I hope for an appropriate patch from 1c Company.

(No problems for ToW2 and its patches).

The last questions is: what is the best OS to run ToW1?

Thanks

Sorry to hear about TOW1 and Windows 7 giving you a hard time. The best OS for TOW1 I would think, would be the one it was designed towards, which would be Windows XP...Windows XP in my opinion was and is the best OS still out there;)...

Certainly the best from the Micro$oft stable anyway.

maybe I have to reistall XP.

I'd like to play ToW to full power (and its editors).

Which version of the game you have (Battlefront English, other English, German, French, ... )? ToW1 works on W7, so there may be a problem with certain copy protection.

I have Battlefront English (from Battlefront web shop) and Battlefront European (set on Italiano from shop).

I have installed in W7 the Battlefront English version from Theatre_of_War_setup.exe (using my last licenze Key), but at the end of the installation the game don't start.

At this point, I have unistalled the Battlefront English version (forgetting to unlicenze) and I have installed ToW from my CD (Battlefront European set Italiano) and the game works on W7; then I have installed the Battlefront English ToW_Mission_Pack_Setup.exe and the game don't start.
