While I can't help with this bug, I think only the first three lines of the error actually says anything. The rest tells stuff on your computer.

I have had the same problem, anyone find a solution?

I had the problem with the menu being squashed over to the right to start with, but by right clicking on the shortcut>properties>compatibilities>run in 640x480 fixed that.

I can then enter missions/single missions, select a mech, pilot, then when I go to launch the mission, it crashes with the same message as above

Btw, I am DYING to play this, it looks fantastic Magic, thanks!!!

If you have win7 do not select compatibility mode and do not select 640x480. It wont work with those settings and it wont work in 640x480.

What is your desktop resolution?

This happens when Y of your desktop resolution is below 768.

MCO will automatically select your desktop resolution (if supported, if not closest supported).
It works fine under win7 32 and 64. Do not select compatibility mode.

Supported resolutions are:
1920x1080
1680x1050
1600x1200
1440x900
1366x768
1280x1024
and 1024x768

Older resolutions 800x600 and 640x480 are no longer supported (If you use one of those the menus will be... ).

And MCO has problems with newer intel integrated graphic cards.
It is tested with both AMD and Nvidia cards and works without problems in supported resolutions.

Try to change your desktop resolution to one from the list above.

MCO has problems with internet browsers and some other open programs. Close all programs running in the background and try.

And one more thing: try running MCO as administrator.

Ha!

Selecting 1280x1024 worked brilliantly! Thaaaanks! I'm giving the Pirates missions a go, it's hard!

As a side note, would you like a proof reader for the text parts? I am guessing the author of the mission blurbs is not a native English speaker, and I'd be more than willing to give something back to say thanks.

I already have very nice story written by native English speaker. I need to make some changes to be able to take full advantage of it.

brilliant, I look forward to it.

Have just completed the Carver 5 magic campaign, it was brilliant, rolled into the final few missions with a 600T lance full of awesome Clan Mechs, so much fun, just disappointed I couldn't get my hands on a Masakari/Warhawk. By the way, how ridiculously good are Mad Cats? The pilots I put in those got double anyone else's kills. Awesome.
