Game not working!

[rolex]

Any help please? I have installed the Dawn of War game(WARHAMMER)and it will not run. Getting following error message... microsoft visual++ Runtime Library Runtime error
program C:\Program files\THQ\Dawn of War\W40K.exe
Abnormal Program Termination.

Also when the games icon is clicked a disk icon appears at the cursor and will only disappear after restarting the computer. I have recently installed another THQ game Company of Heroes and that works fine. Cheers

Have you checked the website for the latest patch?

Yep done that

Have you checked event viewer? Off the top of my head - have you recently updated your display drivers? and have you emptied all the temporary internet folders (standard maintenance checks) ?

Try to re-install it first. Then check you have latest Directx installed/graphics drivers etc. Also look for a no-cd patch you might find you have compatibility issues with cd protection on the disc.

go to gamecopyworld.com and get the no cd patch or the crack for it
ONLY AS LONG AS YOU OWN THE ORIGINAL
