LenardWheeler: I have been thinking about things since doing this posting stuff in relation to the game and thinking back into the past. Several things come to mind. This is the 5th time I have had computer melt downs and this is not the first time I have had trouble. This is the first time that I have used I have a computer chip with only one core with internal memory in it for taking several threads at once. It is the only time that I have not used a video card. The other times I was using XP , start of windows up thru windows 7, but always with multiple cores and video a card. I guess the next thing to try is to put back in my video card and try. Also in the past I upgraded to newer Direct X levels to get out of trouble.

Goodaltgamer: Single core not a problem. MoO3 is build for single core. And believe me, I always stretched my cores to the end ;) Do not run anything else beside it....scus'me??? ;)

Internal graphic-card could be a problem. Directx 9.0c more than sufficient ;) MoO3 isn't using anything higher ;)
Graphic-card could help....

LenardWheeler: Will try when I can get one, thank you for reinforcing my thought on that.
