Tornado7 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) I installed empire at war on my pc (pentium dual core 2.80 ghz, 2.00 gb ram, 200 gb sata harddisk, ati x600 graphics card), and the installation process finished without any problem, but when I try to start the game both from the autorun window or directly from the exec file (sweaw.exe) nothing happens... I looked through the troubleshooting guide and I followed the instructions: disable zomeAlarm, the antivirus, daemon tools but nothing changes... I also tried the analysis option of the sweaw.exe, but when I click on the launch analysis, again nothing happens... thanks for any help P.S.: the force of corruption works fine...

Jedi Master Tofu Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 wow, toughie! Did you have anything running in the background when you were installing? If so, uninstall and re-install and in doing so turn of virus protection and any other thing that may compromise the installation. If that still doesn't work it may be a faulty disk, take it back to the business you bought it from and tell them you want a new one, or if possible I would recommend getting your money back. Purchase it from a different store to make sure that the other store didn't get a bad batch. If that doesn't work, if you have the money you could take it to a professional to see what they can do.
