Hi, I've tried everything and I always get a crash of FirstStrike.exe.

Vanilla 2142 loads up OK.

Launcher updater says updates available but not being applied because they need to be checked first. Then says "Current state is checked". But I already previously installed the patches OK though the launcher.

Launcher gives "unhandled exception" in Win7. Turning on XP compatibility stops this.

I'm starting the launcher as admin, and also set the 2142 shortcut to be admin ... BTW, never seen that recommended before anywhere, seems confusing.

Windowed and full screen modes give crash or "runtime error". I tried various resolutions in the launcher drop down list but that did not fix it.

I'm reluctant to do a full 2142 reinstall but there is a possibility, I suppose, that I originally installed the wrong 1.51 patch. If you think this might be the problem I'll give it a go.

One final thing. I appreciate you are a small mod team. I love what you do ! But I wonder if the installation process and launcher needs tidying up ? For example I am missing 1440x900 resolution and there is a very little text and help pop-up's in the launcher to show what is going on.
