I'm also returning to MTW now (not that I ever owned, let alone played, M2TW), after finding out that I can actually play it again. On my old computer it worked fine, just that the machine was too old and would get overheated every 5 minutes unless you played during winter with your window wide open (which is why I stopped posting in the Pics & history thread around February/March). After returning to these forums however I again felt the addiction and the urge to play once again.

My new computer wouldn't let me play thanks to the NVIDIA 8600N graphics card, and our family laptop wouldn't let me play it because of the NVIDIA graphics card. My last resort was our stationary machine, dating from approximately 3000 BC, and to my surprise it worked. Had a few disastrous campaigns in VI yesterday, but I'm currently downloading XL. Just like you, I fear I shall never be free.
