Emperor doesn`t start up. I get the westwood screen, then black and then I`m back in Windows XP. I had it running with no problems on Windows ME. I dont use Norton or something alike. Newest drivers and everything, I`m no fool. I also tried some forums, alot have the same problem, but it always involves Anti-virus software, which I don`t have. I also tried the EMPEROR INSTALL FIX 1.0, but this can`t be the issue, because it installs without problems. By the way, I used patch 1.09 EN. Tried the Windows XP compatibility settings, with no results Specs: Pentium 3.0 GHZ 1024 Dual Channel ddr memory 2x 40 gigabyte maxtor harddisks at raid 0 Ati 9800pro 1 dvd ROM 1 cd ROM DirectX 9.B I hope someone can help me with this problem, because this is one of the best games ever.
