I played a few hours of the German campaign just fine. I gave up on giving more detailed commands than All Follow or All Attack, but it was all working as intended. I decided to give multiplayer a whirl and hoooly ****. It was laggy but worked for a couple of minutes, then:
*My M key stopped working
*The game would minimize itself every ten seconds or so, and the desktop would refresh.
*Pressing some combination of keys would launch either Run or Search or Windows Narrator

Eventually I was no longer able to return to the game after it minimized, but random Windows apps kept popping up. All of these problems stopped once I killed the ROGame.exe process. I'm running Windows XP.

What the christ is going on? I didn't even know it was possible for this kind of **** to happen. I have all the first-time-running stuff installed and singleplayer ran just fine.

This sort of thing is down to Windows stuck thinking you're holding the Windows Key even when you're not, or even alt or somesuch. I usually solve it by hitting shift ctrl windows alt once in order.

(windows+m minimizes, windows+f opens Find, windows+r is the same as the Run command)
