Thanyou for responding - i tried the first one and clicked on dmr.bat file and the cd drive light started flashing as though it was going to play the game and then stops flashing and the message" you need the cd in the cd drive for the game to play"

then when i tried the GF*x rar file and loaded that into the folder, that came up with the same message

i then ran that latest patch fix and it also did the same - do i need to be running all of this under Compatability mode Xp s2? or as normal in windows 7? because i have done this in windows 7 so far?

cheers

The dmcr.bat file is for a colour problem with Win 7, but you aren't even getting in game so that one will do no good.

The other fixes, same story, they are fixes to problems you don't seem to have so neither of those will work.

It looks like your cd rom isn't recognized on calling on it to play the game, even though the installation from it went fine. Sounds weird but it seems the only conclusion. Can I ask which version of the game it is, i.e country bought in or country release. Reason why I ask is that I remember an issue for the UK release on which the cd rom wouldnt be recognized, but that was for the Art of War and not European Wars like yours.

For the rest everything looks good in your dx, don't see what could be causing the problem both OS as hardware wise.

I hope you have learned the basics of Windows 7 program execution so its not a matter of not knowing how to run programs as administrator or taking ownership of the folder.

You tried run other Cossacks (AoW or BtW)?

If you install AoW I have for you patch:

Hi Cichor thanks for the patch, the cd now runs, but all those other patches u told me about are on the computer, si which and where do i install them, as i am getting wierd pictures on my screen from the main menu onwards, all itty bitty and multicoloured

Wahahayyyyyyy,

Thats brilliant news Cichor and Ebelangel, the problem is when i load the game and go into the main lobby i see no games at all and have major issues getting peepes to talk to me? i know i have to open certain ports with the game and cannot for the life of me remember which ones - also does my firewall play a part in it AVG 9.0.801 version free - all i want to do is play a 1.15 game online and alos be able to host it too

btw ty so much for getting me this far

But I'm afraid that you should buy C:BtW (Antology or something like that) because most of players use C:BtW 1.35.

PS.
Your problem from private massage is obsolete, right?

I apologize for my english.

Try to do what the batch file does but manual then:

- ( start gameranger)
- ctrl + alt + del ( access task manager) , select process tab, shut down explorer.exe
- alt tab back to gameranger and play a game
- al tab back to task manager, select File- New Process and type: explorer.exe and hit enter
- explorer returns
