    ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics card(fairly midlevel card, think between 8600 GS and 8600 GT for Nvidia comparison). Core 2 duo T8300, 2.40 GHZ processor. Vista home premium OS.

    Is that what you were asking for?

    Hmmm... do you get in problems with the campaign/battle loading bar delaying for a few minutes before starting to move?? What driver version are you using?

    I've not had a single issue regarding the campaigns/ load screens.

    How do I check the driver version?

    Click start -> run then enter "devmgmt.msc"

    Click the "+" sign next to display adaptors then right click on the "Radeon HD 2600 Series" device.

    From the pop up menu select "properties"

    Click the driver tab and you will see the driver provider, date and version info near to the top.

    Version 8.452.0.0.

    Thanks for the quick lesson.

    That one falls between Catalyst 8.1 (8.451.0.0) and 8.2 (8.453.0.0). I've not tried those two releases as my card is not supported by them. I may try downloading 8.1 and messing with the .inf file to force it to install.

    Before I'll do that I'll try 9.1 - the latest - though I doubt that will be of any use.

    After years of playing MTW and I still love it.
    So much so that I still have my old PC, still running XP that I maintain solely for my MTW play.
    I am not prepared to mess with it because I am not willing to risk all my MTW files.
    I went and bought an upgraded PC for everything else and keep my old one dedicated to MTW only.
