Yepp, the official map editor for Emperor is the problem (or better, makes the problem). It has to be a Win2k-Problem because the Editor works under Windows 98 SE on my Notebook. The performance of the notebook is... well... not the best, so i would appreciate getting that thing to work on my Win2k-System. My Win2k-System is an AMD 1800XP+, 512MB RAM, GeForce 4MX. Could it be the nVidia Detonator Driver?
