Anyone that knows how to work around or if Gog got any upcoming plans to fix EE1 for windows 7 ?

used to work ,but now dont know if its a windows 'update' or graphic card thing..but the intro cinematic botos up yet the second it finishes or you try to skip it...it says the exe file ceased working and wont leet you get into the game proper.

anyone that knows anything ? its after all the true gem..the fundation..for the ip and far better the nthe later better looking but mechanicly inferior games in my oppinion :(

I updated my Windows 7 64bit Home Ed yesterday and tried starting EE (the first game) and started the German campaign just now with no problems.

Thats sort of why I am conffused ,sure it could crash like any 'old' game if you hade something in the background.
But it used to boot up fine :/

but now I can litery not even boot it up despite it having my comps 'undevided attention' ,and I run a decently often uppdated 'old' win 7 proffesional edition so I shouldet have any of the win 8-10 fuckery going on.

I report the very same problem on my Windows 7 machine

Same problem, Sometimes I litteraly have to start the game up to ten times until it decides to work. Otherwise it crashes after the cinematic.
Then I have to be lucky because it usually crashes when I load my savefile.

So yeah my only solution is just to start and pray. Switching compatibility mode between one or two crashes might work, it did for me, but it might just be random luck.
Maybe DgVoodoo can help, but bad stuff happened when I tried to use it with this game, so be careful.
