Status: offline 		.try holding down ctrl when you launch.

then turn off videos

alternatively

download the intel codec from CSO Downloads in command centre

Command Centre\CSO Downloads\Utiliteis\ Intel Codec for CoI

then run that before launching. (only needs to be run once)
link to codec : ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/closecombatcrossofiron/utilities/intelv5setup.exe

Status: offline 		Thanks, disabling the video allowed me to launch the game but the codec did not work for me.  (Gave me some error messages when I tried to install it)  I would like to be able to watch the video if possible.

you should be able to view them here with VLC or windows media player

C:\Program Files\Close Combat\Close Combat III\VIDEOS\  and open the .avi files
