Vista Issue

[Currahee]

I was never able to get the WOTY version, or older versions, to run on XP; it was a copyprotect issue, and sounds like what you're encountering. For a while I ran a dual boot; but then someone came out with a no-CD version of Century of Warfare, that solved the problem, so now I only run WOTY on an older computer, and I only use it to upgrade WOTY scenarios so they can be run in COW or TOAW III.

The comprehensive solution is to move up to TOAW III, which is a lot better in many respects.
