    Welcome to the Org, Dijenek!

    I haven't heard of MTW not working specifically for Windows 7. I run it on Vista 32-bit without any problems, but since Windows 7 has been released there haven't been many posts about it and MTW.

    What kind of video card do you have, and what kind of Windows 7 do you have (32/64 bit)? Have you tried running MTW in XP compatibility mode?

    I have run MTW on a Radeon X700 mobility with XP, so I don't think the video card is the problem. Newer nVidia cards cause a problem very similar to what you are seeing. You could try the nVidia fix mentioned here, I'm not sure if it will do any good though. The nVidia rendering of the two buttons apparently cause the CTD, maybe something in Windows 7 does something similar.

    Maybe play around with the game screen resolution and other video options? One other fix for nVidia issues was to set the anti-aliasing to 2, maybe try that. At this point, I would suggest to the mods to move this thread to the Apothecary, you will probably get more help there. As you can tell, not much traffic in this part of the forums, and you have exceeded my knowledge on these kinds of things.

    I'm pretty sure he meant Windows 2000. To change the compatibility mode, right click on the MTW/VI desktop shortcut and select "Properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab, you should see a check box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", check that and select Windows 2000 from the drop down menu.
