I'm trying to run battle for middle earth II on an Inspiron 9300, but it loads of the splash screen for a few minutes, then crashes. Anyone else having this problem?

I run BFME2 fine on both of my computers; my suggestion is to make sure you have up to date drivers installed and try reinstalling the program

My video card is a 256mb Nvidia Go 6800, I've updated the driver from Dell, but still no luck.

It's an EA game. What more information do you need?

Seriously though, yeah, specs would be helpful. Is the game patched? Have you tried reinstalling it? What drivers are you running? I find that with BF2142 (another terribly programmed game by EA) CTD errors are usually fixed by reinstalling my video drivers.

I'm an idiot. I downloaded the patch(es) and this seems to have fixed it. I can't believe that EA doesn't automatically update the program when you load it! Probably not a suprise for Reflux. Thanks for the help!
