All sorted, I set the game to run as windows xp service pack 3 and now it works
 
Hi @Biderman, I had the same problem when I bought a new PC with Win 7 some time ago and I was posting in the BF Forum and was searching for help and so on. The "key" is not to to run the programme with compatibility mode windows XP service pack 3 (or any other) but to do this (and it works for the most other games too and for all CMx2 games): When you start the game for the very first time, please do not just double click on the desktop icon of CMSF but make one right click and choose "run programme as administrator" * - then it runs and you can play CMSF with the full improvements and "power" of Windows 7. ;)



* I'm using Win 7 in German - maybe my own translation into English is somewhat incorrect, but it is the fourth menu point from above - the one with the shield symbol.
 
Yup, that's win7 protecting you from yourself :) I run everything as admin now and it makes things so much easier.
