    i had a bit of a wierd problem too. when i started up EB the first time after i installed (i restarted the comp btw), the RTW loading screen came up for about 5 secs then when it was supposed to switch to the EB logo screen where it loads up the screen just when blank and the comp was really screwing around as if it had lost its video drivers or something. i had to restart the comp since it froze eventually.

    however when i tried again after restarting it loaded fine.

    ive been getting this about 50% of the time so far, starts up fine then does it the next time.

    i actually just left the comp and came back later and it had actually unfroze and was back at the desktop, there was an error message which said that 'rtw cannot find directx 9, which is needed to run the game'.

    however i have dx9c installed and my dxdiag reports no problems in any regard so im a bit miffed as to why it says that.

    anyway im gonna download dx9c again and reinstall it to see if it makes any difference.

    crashed on startup two times in a row after installing 9c

    im using a nvidia AGP 512mb 7600gs with the latest drivers...

    it just seems so wierd, after i click on the EB desktop shortcut it loads a little bit, checks for CD, then the vanilla RTW logo comes up (not in fullscreen mode, just the window thing), then a bit later it gets to the point where its supposed to initialise the EB program... at this point it either 'clicks' right and starts up perfectly or the screen goes black and the computer goes haywire.

    edit- i should add also that i did not have this problem in 0.74, or in rtw 1.5 which i was playing a bit before installing 0.8
