I can only check the internet when in the office - so I appreciate the many responses in my absence
I will attach the game... The computer I'm using is a brand new Dell Inspiron 8100 with a GForce2 ... I ran SEIV on a much older computer with no problems. I installed just the game and the current patch - I usually install the TDM modpack but haven't since the game won't play.
I read the other thread and will try starting, crashing, doing something else, playing - but there seems to be some sort of issue with Dells??
Thanks for the responses. I appreciate this community and the staff. My frustration comes from not being able to play such a great game.
