I tried to play WITP-AE Edition and the game locks up computer. Have deleted games and all files and re-installed the game from the CD. Updated game and I get same results. All other Matrix Games work fine. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 620 with Windows 7 Profeesional. Thanks

Show us your path from your shortcut. Here is mine:

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -fd -altFont -px1920 -py1080 -archive -cpu1 -dd_sw -deepColor -skipVideo

Also tell what your hard drive free space, computer memory and video card specs are. The game loads a lot of data once you start setting up a turn and uses a lot of video memory to handle all the graphics filters you can apply (range circles, weather, etc.).

Are Command line switches needed for Windows 7?

I am using an Inspiron 620 intel core i5-23 20 processor with 6mb cache. Available HD space is 302 GB. Computer memory is 8.00GB. It has an AMD Radian HD 6450 video card. Also I am not sure how to check the shortcut specs. Hope this helps. I am going to try and install the game on wife computer. Also I had Geek Squad check out my computer last night and after they got done it worked fine.

Make sure you have updated graphic drivers for your computer:
Support Page for Dell 620 Drivers:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-620/drivers
There is a Diagnostic section on this page as well. You should run it.

Make sure you update your Direct X to the most current version
