Good luck to your team today <3

i don't have a team, remember.

Yeah but I could have sworn there was one or two that you follow.

Maybe I misunderstand, but say what? I've played it on at least 3 laptops, from an old Toshiba maybe a year or two after release (Omaha Beach mission was a struggle but it limped through) up to a Win7 unit with a GT555M.

I get the jist of what he was saying, even older games have a minimum requirement to run, if the system the OP has is below that the there is going to be issues...

When I clicked on this thread, I was expecting an existential discussion. Ignore me.

How can I ignore you if I'm not sure you are really there to be ignored?

If you tell us to ignore you, and we listen to you and do as you say... are we ignoring you? To ignore you we should ignore what you say... MY BRAIN HURTS.

Same here. Maybe I should stop buying them altogether, but shopping therapy always lightens the mood...

Sorry, I failed. Now that you brought it up, money never really goes to waste when you buy games. The money simply changes owners. The game publisher can buy cool Christmas presents for their own kids with that money (or even games!), GOG staff get money to buy more samurai swords etc.

Now, if someone was really in a habit of throwing money into a barrel and a lit match, then I'd start yelling "You are wasting perfectly good money!".

I don't have swat, but mohaa ran fine under Win 7, 64 bit (and still runs after upgrading to Win 10).

So basically do what others have said: install DX9 and try again. And if that doesn't help, contact support. That's what they are there for.

thanx will try the dx9 route

Might be helpful if you mention what is happening when you try to install one of these. I don't see a mention elsewhere in this thread.

What is happening is on boot the game loads the dos panel then screen goes black and hangs.. and hangs.
have installed DX9
