thanks in advance!

[Spammer]

Looks to me like you are missing the .sga files in your "wk40" folder. Might want to uninstall again and delete the entire dawn of war directory. Or, uninstall and reinstall in a different directory. Did you unpack with spookyrat?

[Moe]

Can you try reinstalling again, like Spammer suggested? Something seems to be really screwed up with your current install...

[exentia]

have just done another install still doin the same have got rid of everything dawn of war related and still wont work.

and to answer spammers question yes i have unpacked with spookyrat but this was on an earlier install.

am gonna try it again but i dont think its gonna do it!

anymore help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

EX

edit: just finished the install and for some reason it decided it wanted to work! so disaster averted......now where did i leave my chainsword....mumble..mumble......
