I just got this game for the PC released back in 2002. The game loads up just fine but during the load screen, when the game is loading up its resources, it crashes to the desktop with this error message:
Colditz.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. NOW, don't get me wrong! The game started before, after I changed the compatibility settings for Colditz.EXE to a former version of windows, but that one time only. It also works on a far weaker computer in my home. Ever since, the aforementioned problem has persisted on my stronger comp..
