Odd

[Shovelhead773]

I've played this game many times before. I decided to come back the other day but i ran into a few problems. I currently run a toshiba computer with a AMD turion X2 processor and an ati graphics card. I have 200g hard drive and 3g ram with windows vista. When i started the game i first began having freezing when i tried to run the game and also had spinning boxes off of the main screen. The boxes would turn a darker shade of grey as well. The boxes don't longer spin but the screen will freeze when you first start the game with the p51 in the background and the box spins in. Sometimes i can get in and play and i will work (one time), but every other time it hasn't. I can't think of the problem this may be having it's so odd, my last computer ran this fine and it was a piece of junk. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks!   

P.s i've also looking at the other post about the spinning screen and it didn't help me any

Check out This Thread. It explains the issues AMD processes have and how to either fix it, or do a work around.

Thanks, i looked at that before but i didn't understand it much. Is that saying that i should unzip the file after i download it? When i downloaded it it just sorta disappeared. Hmm i will try again

I also have vista and that only supports XP

For Vista, set the game to run in Windows 98/Windows ME compatibility mode.  That effectively stops the game from using both CPU's and should stablize things.  This only applies to AMD dual-core CPU's.
