Hi all, my first post.

I have just received winSPWW2, and installed it with all the patches, and the ANZAC campaign. But the game want start.

See the attachment for messages i get.

Please advice.

I have been playing winSPMBT now for a long while, with no problems.

Have you tried re-installing the game ? We have had reports occasionally where it just doesn't take the first time.

If MBT runs on your machine then so will SPWW2.

Came across this url. (http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/archive/index.php/thread-39436-1.html)


It start in windowed mode, but not in full screen.
I hope this can be resolved, since I prefer playing in full screen.
My winSPMBT play well in full screen.

If MBT runs in full screen on your computer so will WW2. Your're not running Vista so the Url you quoted doesn't apply to XP which you are using

Compare the two INI files found in the Game data folder in both games.

Try saving your WW2 INI's in a temp folder then copy the MBT ones to the WW2 game data folder and try the game. Both games use the same code for windowed mode vs Full screen mode and the INI's have no effect on whether the game is DL or CD
