I recently purchased Empire Earth Gold Edition from GOG.com. Unfortunately, I've yet to be able to actually play it. System Specs: • Make/Model - HP EliteBook 8530p • OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 • CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.3 GHz • RAM - 4 GB • Video - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 • Video Driver Version - 8.911.4.1000 Problem: When running the shortcut, I see the Empire Earth splash screen and then it switches to a full-screen black window with a 'spinning circle' cursor for a few seconds. After this, the window minimizes. In the background, I can hear the game's intro and title screen running, but I can't restore the game window no matter what I do. Troubleshooting: • Updated video drivers from HP's website. • Installed June 2010 edition of DirectX, as suggested by GOG.com. Try enabling some or all of the following options in Compatibility Settings: • Windows XP compatibility mode • Run as administrator • Disable visual themes • Disable display scaling • Disable desktop checked To get to Compatibility Settings, Right-Click the shortcut/program, and Click Properties. Then navigate to the Compatibility tab.
