Panzer General II Crashing on Windows 7


Recommended Posts

I have a problem which has been annoying me for a while now. Namely, my PG2 keeps crashing on Windows 7 and I don't know why. I'll give you guys a quick rundown on what I have done thus far:

 

-Downloaded and installed a new version of the game (which claims to be compatible with Windows 7)

-Set all of the .exes to run in compatibility mode with both Windows 95 and Windows XP SP3 and with admin privileges (neither worked)

-Installed DX9 runtime components

 

None of this works.

 

Can someone help?

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode for various operating systems?

Apart from those mentioned above? No. I figured it would have been a waste of time, but I suppose that it would be worth a try once all other options have been exhausted. Which ones do you recommend trying first?

UPDATE: I fixed the issue.

 

Turns out it was because there was a dot in the name of the folder. Miraculously, removing it caused right clicking to work and not crash.

Interesting. :) I could see how that might offend windows.... thinking maybe it was a file extension, instead of a folder......
