This game seems great, actually all the things that EUIII lacked for us with a historical passion. Problem is, i can´t play the game. Everytime i try to save or autosave the game crashes to desktop. What´s the problem? I´m running Vista by the way. Can´t find any bugreports thread on this forum. Anyone experienced the same problem. Please give me a hint, I´m eager to get on playing...

I was having some of the same issues. Not sure if they are the problems you are having, but check these:

1) Check to see if a Save Game folder was created in your Mods/AGCEEP directory. Mine didn't make one when I installed it.

2) Check to make sure you are running as the Adminstrator. For some reason, this game is picky about that and won't allow you to make changes or modify anything unless you are, unlike every other game I have on my HD.....the easiest way to do that is right click on the For the Glory game icon and choose 'run as Administrator'.

and to see the bug report forum and the technical support forum you need to register the game. You can do it from this page in the "My Games/Registration" entry in the menu, at the top of this page.

Actually it is not "this" game. Vista security policy is based on the assumption that all PC in the world should be protected as any PC enterprise would be (theorically), meaning that simple users are only allowed some actions while the network administrator is the only one to be allowed some other actions (like installing a software or according rights to write in some directories and not others).
It is utterly ridiculous as a family PC is not to be compared to an enterprise PC and the generalization, coming from goodwill, is a catastrophe for untrained people.
If you are to protect your PC from pirates at home (that is your children) you might abid to this, but in general cases, you'd better manage to get rid of this nuisance.
