Re: Game automatically double starts and then kicks me out when I start playing.

<t>Just played tonight and it worked OK. Don't think I was doing anything different (like double clicking) after all of the years I've been playing it, but maybe I did... I'll see what happens in the future and keep your suggestions in mind.<br/> <br/> <br/> Thanks for your help. I've never been dis...

Game automatically double starts and then kicks me out when I start playing.

<t>Have a weird problem I don't recall seeing here before. This problem only started after a recent Microsoft 10 update. <br/> <br/> I click on my shortcut and the start screen comes up normally, but as soon as it does it makes the start up tone again. If I get out of the game, there are 2 shortcut ...

Re: Windows 10 Again

<t>I figured the only thing I could do was to delete the game and reinstall again following those instructions and this time IT WORKED!

Re: Windows 10 Again

Tried it and get the same result - black box opens and Windows stops working message. I noticed this fix was 4 years old. Has anything changed in the game or Windows since then? All of the support messages on Matrix were old, nothing recent.

Windows 10 Again

<t>I had to get a new computer and of course it's got Windows 10 Home. Previously ran SOW on Vista and Windows 7 with no problems. I have been aware of all of the questions with problems with 10 but it seems like nobody is asking about it anymore. I can't get the game to run.<br/> <br/> I have read ...

Re: Windows 10 Again

I see my message posed under the wrong section. Can someone move it to the Technical problems section under SOW Gettysburg? Thank you. :(

Re: Antietam not working

Should I just delete the game from my new computer and do a new install since they are both registered with Matrix? Download them from the Matrix Members site?

I have a feeling we're getting close.
