As a child this was one of my favorite games, and I was quite depressed to see Windows 7 couldn't run it off my first decade disk. Then I found this wonderful place and I can live my childhood memories all over again. Alas I have run into some issues.
Ive played through a couple skirmishes no problems, when I try the campaigns though I hit an issue. I haven't tried the allied side yet. The videos work fine, the music is good, the first soviet mission plays smoothly with all the videos. How ever when I get to the map screen to select the next mission, I pick the mission and the game crashes with this error.
"The instruction at 005d747d referenced memory at 00000001
The memory could not be read from
Click on OK to terminate the application"
I'm quite familiar with virtual clone drive, and I mounted a dummy .iso as advised. Still no luck.
If its worth anything I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on an Intel Core i5 @3.30 gHz
