Too often problem really is in the users computer and not in the game... regardless of the game.

Anyway.. what comes to WWIIOL, I haven't had any bigger problem with it than most of the other games.
Sometimes it might crash.. like about once or  twice a week, what I remember from last week of playing it.
Meanwhile other games have crashed about as much.

It's really gone long way from the early days CTD's.
CTD bugs seem to have now shifted to game mechanics; units, new graphics..
Better than CTD's though.

As a ground pounder, I don't have too much to complain, theres no bigger show stoppers.
However the air is messed up ever since the plane DM and FM audits.
For example;
With DM It's funny how DB7/Havoc can soak up lots of hits in their wings (fuselage is like paper compared to titanium wings)
With FM Spitfire seems to be from an another dimension with the other planes - simply is able to do something which would be impossible. (and of course longitudal stability on some planes is horribly wrong, like for example 109 and 110.. you'd think those doesn't have vertical stabilizers or fuselage stabilizing)

I play/have played  all the WWII sims/games.  WWIIOL is the only MMP war sim i play other than the occasional WBIII S3's.    WWIIOL runs flawlessly on my PC.   Biggest "problem" with WWIIOL is the "64-Player Limit" which affects the biggest battles.  

Other than that, it rocks....

Funked you should know better.
I more or less loathe Hatch and Doc; their credibility is all time low and basically everything they say must be taken with grain of salt...

That just doesn't change the fact that game itself runs just fine in my computer.

Don't get me going, I have to remind myself not to fly whenever I am tempted. The funny thing I like to watch is the Blen barnstormers, they do immelmans, loop dee loops, you name it, every trick in the book. The show stopper is when you are an infantry watching a 110 come in to shoot down the Blen that has been bombing you. Then the Blen manages to dogfight the 110 and saddle up on his six, too freakin funny.

so as for the upside screen, do you think that the computer is at fault (what could be the cause and fix), or do you think that the program that i downloaded is crap

Some codec-pack (for videos) messed up my computer months ago and it turned the vids upside down but that's first thing I 've heard that game behaves like a that.

I'd check that videocard's drivers and DirectX are up to date (some Radeon's had problems with new version of game).

Drivers: drivers for GeForce cards and for Ati Radeons.
DirectX can be found from Here.

When updating your drivers, make sure you clean out your old drivers. I updated my sound drivers too. There is a tool to clean out your old drivers on this thread

I know, I know, I just couldn't stop myself.  It's just too easy to make WW2OL jokes.  :)
I might install my copy this week though.  First time since beta.  :)
