My system is:
P4 1.4
128MB RDRAM PC-800
nVidia Geforce MX 32MB 4X AGP Video
Windows ME
ALS4000 3D Surround Sound
Latest version of DirectX (that came with the HOMMIV game)

Does anyone know what could be the problem and is there a possible solution? Thanks.
Welcome to the board, Exile!!!

I'm not the techie guru around here - at a glance and based on many other posts with similar problems, your's might be with your version of DirectX. Many players have had difficulty getting W&W correctly with 8. Within this thread there are instructions on how to downgrade to DirectX 7.

Worth a try - if that doesn't help it is easy enough to reinstall the more recent version of DirectX.
