Having updated to Windows 10, Warlords seems to run in a stable way on my PC again. Anyone up for some PBEM games using K4Sh units?

Not keen on using Last Citadel as my virus checker doesn't appear to like the site.

I had this problem occasionally under XP and it was dealt with sometimes by exiting the game and restarting. Cometimes closing warlords and reopening and sometimes with a reboot when it was persistent.

Under Windows 7 I always have this problem. A solution I found was to run a batch file that closes explorer.exe (and restarts it again once I close the batch file). Basically I start the game by clicking the usual warlords shortcut, then before selecting single or multiplayer I run the batch file. Then start and play the game. Once finished I close a dummy programme started by teh batch file to restart explorer.exe. Don't know why this works but the game is much more stable. I also use the usual -nosound and -wincursor switches but have no compatibility mode boxes ticked. This may work on your system too? Found this solution when looking for ways to play Master of Orion 2 (my dummy programme) on windows 7. Guess the batch file can be amended to actually run warlords instead after closing explorer.exe but I can't seem to get the programming right in the batch file to do this correctly.
