I am looking for help from anyone who has had similar problems to those I am experiencing with Silent Hunter 2. I have spent the weekend trying to install this on 2 computers. In each case I have installed a fresh copy of SH2 from CD then installed the 1.1 patch. The results have been as follows:

XP with 718mb memory & ATI Radeon 6800 graphics card with 32mb memory, Directx 9.0. Installs & then loads missions OK but every mission I have tried crashes at some early stage, e.g. this happen in Training Mission 1 as I move mouse in plot. Computer crashed with buzz - has to be turned off. This happens regardless of graphics level chosen - tried all choices including hi-res mod.

Win98SE with 128mb & Matrox Millenium 16mb graphics card. Directx8.0a. Again installs OK and opening movie, etc work fine. But whatever mission I try to load it halts on loading mission screen withfull red bar at bottom of screen. Computer crashed have to turn off.

Any help or ideas appreciated.

Thanks
