Since it won't play on a new laptop in Alaska or a muscle desktop in Utah, perhaps the Euro version of Windows 7 Pro is different. One would think an OS that hogs seven gigs of space would do everything for everyone everywhere. Maybe Microsoft needs more nerds on their programming committees. (Just regurgitating my sour grapes) Apparently the engine is not to blame. Case closed. Pearl Harbor Encounter Attic Games

Even though windows 7 comes with Direct X11, you might still need to install the newest DirectX 9c version to run A6. For A7 and A8 I know that this is neccessary for sure. See if there is a "d3dx9_30.dll" file in your game directory. Try deleting it if it is there or moving it there if it isn't.
