Were you able to get CFS (first version - WWII Europe Series) installed and running on an XP Pro system? If so, how? I cannot seem to get it to install - I get a plash screen only and then "nothing"
Thanks

Re-installed Win XP Pro now CFS isn't working. Game screen displays garbled characters & can not add pilots in Campaign mode. Screen goes blank & game stops responding.

Have you checked for more recent video accelerator drivers?

I have a GeForce 6200 A-LE accelerator and am running nv4_disp.dll version 6.14.10.8466 (you're apparently still using 6.14.0010.4523)
