RE: Error reading file!
Glenn, the only problem I seem to have in Stalingrad now (nevermind the russians Big Grin) is that when scrolling the map goes white. Hey It's not a snow storm. :P Map goes completely blank as if there's a memory problem with handling the gfx data. Clicking anywhere on the map will have it reappear but it's extremely annoying not to be able to view while scrolling. I don't get why this is occurring on a machine with 4 GB PC6400 on 800 MHz and GF8800 GTS with 640 MB!

There's a fix to this. In the properties of the .lnk file for 'Main Program' under the compatibility tab, check 'Inactivate Desktopcomposition' (guessing the english name since I have a Swedish version). This seem to force the desktop into 16-bit mode before launching the game, disabling the Aero interface. Aero is nice but it's not like you're missing out when playing PzC in 16-bit. :)

Hope that helps, maybe there's a easy fix for it? I've not seen this problem in the other titles, but it could be because I've not had time to play most of them them, yet. :)

On another note, 'Defense of the Reich' is completely unplayable on Vista. Is there a way around it?
