I tried the uninstall, defrag, reinstall. That didn't help either.

I've been running it just fine. I played a few missions and such, no problems. I came for help because it shouldn't take 45 minutes - 1 hour to take me into the training/mission levels.

My specs are: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit SP1 operating system (64-Bit capable) AMD Athlon Dual-Core QL-62 2.00 GHz processor 2GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G w/ 256mb dedicated memory video card 1366x768 monitor resolution DirectX 10 Tell me if I'm missing anything. (Pretty good specs for a laptop right?)

Hey guys. I started DCS and went to the training section, clicked on the cockpit systems, then chose start. After that, it crashed to my desktop and the DCS screen showed up. It's the square one that says "Digital Combat Simulator" on top and has a guy walking towards the chopper. It's been 45 minutes and I STILL see that screen, it isn't taking me to anything. Now I have three questions. 1) Should it crash to the desktop and show the DCS screen like that? 2) How long is it supposed to take at most for that screen to lead you to the training? 3) How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. By the way, my operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. I'm seriously thinking about taking this game back to the store or selling it on eBay.
