------- Additional Comments From scott@open-vote.org 2007-10-02 17:36 ------- Thomas, are you playing without the CD in (or with a crack?) I can't remember if Hearts of Iron has it, but Paradox games have notoriously been very broken by the horrible copy protection forced on them alongside the lame publisher intro movies.
There also might be a way to skip the intro movies entirely, though I'm not sure how. AppDB might say, as might the paradox forums - you may just be able to rename the movies folder.
