Hi
I just purchased the Gold Edition

I installed Dawn of War which completed successfully, but when we run it it gets a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error and the abnormal program termination. The program holds the disk and the compter needs to be restarted.

The Winter Assault installs and plays fine.

I am not very handy with computers and would like it if someone could help me in very basic terms.....The kids would appreciate it....they are hanging to play it Thanks Heaps:screwy:

ok, get all updates on windows update and fully patch the game (patches 1.41, 1.50 and 1.51 - you can find them through google).

If that doesnt help, post back.

Hi TBS
I did warn you that I had no know idea, when it came to computers....
I found the 1.50 to 1.51 patch .... is that right??
But the computer with the game is not connected to the internet yet...what to do??
Thanks for your patience.

the patches you need (for DoW) are 1.40 > 1.41, 1.41 > 1.50 and 1.50 > 1.51.

Updating windows will require that the computer be connected to the internet.

Start by patching DoW (the patch files can be transferred on a CD, USB storage or anything else with sufficient capacity). While you are at it you can download the latest graphics card drivers for the PC (go to the card manufacturer's website - if you arent sure then get a dxdiag...instructions are in a sticky in this forum).
