Hello,
I installed the game on my new laptop today. I read about a lot of problems with Vista, so I installed the latest nVidia drivers (I think). I did not register the game yet, because there is a problem with my serial number (I already submitted a ticket for that).
At the main menu and everytime a menu or movie appears, my sound becomes static-y. I dont mind that though (I tend to play with my own music on background), but I also have a game freeze problem.
I played several games, and it always happens when I either try to build a starbase or upgrade one.
After the freeze, I can move the mouse, but not click anything. I exited the game using Alt-Tab and tried to re-enter (worked the time before that), but that just gave a black sceen. I exitted Alt-Tab wise angain and closed it. Is there anything I can do?
