I'm hoping someone can help as I can't get the required assistance from Activision nor Sega. I installed MTW on my laptop. I'm not very comp savvy so bear with me. Running Windows XP, Intel Core 2, 2.4ghz processer, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics card, plenty of disk space. installation went fine and the problem is the game crashes back to my desktop when i try to start a campaign. I can run a quick battle or historic battle without issue but as soon as i set up a campaign, hit the begin button, the game drops out when on the Medieval title loading page. I ran thru the suggested fixes - making sure screen res was same in game and out, updating all drivers for video, sound cards as well as direct X but the problem persists.
the only thing i can figure is my video card does not appear on the box as a recommended card (i'm not sure if mine is better or worse than what the game calls for). But i would think if it wasn't compatible, i wouldn't be able to run portions of the game without issue.

please, any suggestions would be appreciated. sorry for the long thread

thanks
