"East India Company has stopped working"
Inital issue was that the videos were displayed however as soon as I got to the menu screen of the game it would crash and say "East India Company has stopped working".
I then applied Issue 1 protocol as outlined here in the troubleshooting thread and had the same problem.
i then applied Issue 2 protocol as outlined here in the troubleshooting thread and now only get the splash screen saying the game is loading followed immediately by the "East India Company has stopped working". (not getting to the videos or menu screen now).
I have also downloaded all 3 patches available ensuring that when each was applied that the game was not running in the background.
My System is as follows:
AMD Atholon(tm)64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.6GHz Processor
3.00GB of RAM
32-bit VISTA Operating System
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 Graphics Card
