ORIGINAL: Buckeye5 Well, reinstallation didn't work, but the problem has been resolved. I e-mailed Matrix tech support, and they sent a fix that appears to work for all three games. I haven't seen it posted anywhere else, so I'll list it here in the hope that it'll save future purchasers of the game some time. For Vista computers, the games evidently need to be run in compatibility mode to work properly. So after installation, you need to go into EACH of the three game directories, right-click on the *.exe files, and then click "Properties". One of the tabs in the "Properties" window is for "Compatibility". Click that tab, set the .exe file to run in Windows98 mode, and also click the little box that says "Run as Administrator." There are _two_ .exe files in each of the game directories (RS.exe and RisingSun.exe, EF.exe and East Front.exe, WF.exe and West Front.exe). So there are a total of SIX files whose properties need to be adjusted. Since I've made the changes, I've been able to run the games, and I have not encountered any problems. I'm glad that Matrix Support was able to provide a solution, because I'm really enjoying Campaign Series. Thanks for posting this, Buckeye. It's little tidbits like that that I wish they would inform me about as well! Jason Petho
