If you are using the same computer, then I would say there is either something wrong with your home wifi setup/network or your laptop's wifi when it's connected. Maybe take your laptop to a stop with free wifi and try MTW there, just to see if it's home specific.

Ok i will try that. How would internet connection cause single player offline campaign map lap though?

I also think that this relates to your LAN/wi-fi settings. Do you use any firewall?

MTW has been using GameSpy for multiplayer games. The GameSpy is dead now and (I suppose) that's the problem. MTW notoriously tries to contact a server and after a few minutes it somehow cripples the game itself. The only way to solve this is to kill the process causing it. It's named rundll32.exe. Recently, because of this, I have to start the game twice. First, I start the game, two prcesses appears - Medieval_TW.exe and rundll32.exe but the game fails to load. I kill the Madieval_TW.exe (but leave the rundll32.exe) and start the game again. It fully loads now so I Alt-Tab and kill rundll32.exe. Form that moment game runs nice and smooth. Hope it helps.

Regarding the rundll32 problem mentioned by Stazi, I've read speculations that it might be linked to Windows' "games explorer", but I failed to understand the specifics. A possible workaround is to create a copy of the exe-file (for example "Medieval_TW - Copy.exe") in the same folder and use that copy to start the game. It saves the trouble of having to kill the processes as described by Stazi.
