SH 4 problems playing and viewing // crashes

So I purchased SH 4 awhile back and played one campaign on easy. Made it pretty far in the game but got bored with it. Recently, I figured I would try play it again but realized that I had erased the game. I found SH 4 gold edition online downloaded it and opened it up. I have it in C:/Ubisoft folder as was recommended by some others on here. If I have my computer plugged in at work to an overhead projector the game works just fine whether the projector is on or off. However, the game does not work when my computer is not plugged into a projector. I figured with the brain power on this site someone would be able to help me out. I have the compatibility changed to vista xp service pack 2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times with the last time making sure that I run it as an administrator.

The game loads fine but when I go to options and click on graphics it crashes. Or when I start a scenario the words game paused come up and I can still click on all the different icons on the bottom like the war map and command buttons. When I try to start an American Campaign it crashes when I click on start.

Obviously it has something to do with the graphics but I just want to know why it works once I plug my projector from work into the very same computer and it crashes when I don't have my projector plugged in.

Funny enough if I open an American Campaign up with the projector plugged in I can unplug the projector and the campaign runs fine until I finish a patrol or I try to save the game.

Hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction. I have windows 7 on my computer. Not sure which graphics card I have.

Thanks
