I just got rise of nations the other day, but after installing it, all I get are the first two intro movies then it crashes back to the desktop. The first two movies also play upside down and backwards, which is another problem. I checked for updates for my graphics card and directx, but I have the newest versions. here's my specs:

P4 3.2c processor
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card
1 gig of corsair xms ddr memory

I searched the web and the developers websites but to no avail.

Anyone else had this problem or know the answer?

Weird. There are people here that know more about this than me, but it sounds like you may have gotten a defective disk. With specs like that and the latest drivers, you shouldn't be having any problems. I'm running it on an AMD 64 with the same graphics card and memory, and it's running smoothly.

When you get it taken care of, PM me and we can get a game going

edit: did you try to re-install it?

I would uninstall and delete all folders and re-install.

That sounds like a CD problem more than a computer problem. Go back to the store and exchange for new discs! Make sure to completely delete all traces of the previous installations before you try again. Then after you install anew and you still have problems, call an exorsist.
