      Hey there! What kind of minifreezes do you have? and could you tell your PC specs and what system are you using? It might be that you have to update your graphics card drivers or install older versions of DirectX such as 8.0, 9.0, 10.
      Also Update Visual C++ Libraries and NET Framework, these are like graphical system improvements to have games working correctly.

      Remember to apply the crack that comes in the game files you have downloaded, just copy the game.dat file to your game installation directory.

    I’m getting an error at the end of installation, and it says:

    …..
    Unable to execute file:
    C:Program Files (x86)EA GAMESThe Battle for Middle-earth
    (tm)AddReg.exe

    ShellExecuteEx failed; code 2.
    The system cannot find the file specified
    …..

    It allows me to press finish and it allows me to open the “T3A:ONLINE” Menu, but when I press “Launch BFME” nothing happens, and I’m guessing it’s due to the installation error.
