I posted this in the other forum, but I thought you fellas might have some ideas:

My system:
Sony VIAO
Pentium III, About 900 Mhz
40 Gig Hard Drive
512 Megs ram
ATI Radeon 64 Meg video card
recently upgraded to Win XP Prof.

I loaded the game in the original Win ME with the video card and all already installed and the game worked fine, perfect really. Then I reformatted the hard drive due to bugs in Win ME (may it rot in OS hell forever). Clean installed Win 2000 but found it lacking. Upgraded to Win XP and then reinstalled MTW. Ahh! Nothing works! Try to use one of the savegames I had kept on cd: sent to the options screen after loading then CTD after about 2 seconds. Try to start a new campaign: Same exact problem. Try to play a custom battle: CTD when shown the weather and asked if I want to wait. I was told that the patch would fix these problems if I clean installed the game and then the patch. Bah! Nothing changed! Everything is the same: CTD...CTD...CTD. Any ideas?

"You there, knight!" "Yes, sir?" "We just lost that battle. Why did you order your men to charge that unit of enemy sergeants?" "Uh, I was impetuous, sir" "'IMPETUOUS!? Impetuous!? Men! Kill him, I want his head!"
