The loading will get to the point where you click to continue [Mission Splash screen] once you click, the screen goes blank and you hear what sounds like an explosion then nothing. Only a black screen.
I found a solution in the relic forums
DragonRR:
Fix for this issue:
Go to this folder:
My documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\Savegames\RelicCOH\Campaigns\cxp2\
Find the file
“oosterbeek_crossing – counterattack.cohsav”
Move this file out of the folder and onto your desktop or delete it.
Run the game, hit continue campaign.
NOTE: This worked for me

HTC4260xxG9AT00 Firmware A0L2 (May 2, 2007)
The firmware update is only available on a bootable ISO CD-ROM, but the laptop has neither a floppy drive, nor a CD-ROM drive. The update is quiet important since it reduced the noise made by an annoying clicking sound of the hard drive.
If you are in a hurry go directly to Setting up the PXE server
My first attempt was trying to boot on an USB pen drive, but the only time it booted successfully was with a size of a floppy. Unfortunately it is impossible to copy the 18mb content from the CD onto it. Every attempt to expand the size of the bootable dos partition on the USB pen drive resulted in a failure to correctly boot the dos environment.
Second attempt was booting a large disk image over PXE network boot, but that failed, as well.
The final solution that worked was booting a dos floppy with network support from PXE or USB pen drive and then connect to a network share with the content of the firmware updating CD.
The steps
What you will need:
B57 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet NDIS2 Driver 8.28You now have a working b57.cab file under makev3\cabs
What you will need:
You should have a netboot.img file in your network boot disk creator folder (bfd107)
What you will need:
DEFAULT Dos
LABEL Dos
kernel memdisk
append initrd=netboot.img
Other sites that will help you to configure tftpd
What you will need:
Before we boot we have to configure the share that hosts the files from the iso image
If you use TCP/IP be sure that your pc or/and your domain allows login in with the deprecated security levels for dos.
Or you can install the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol, under properties of your network connection on your windows machine.
net use c: \\your-server\yourshare to connect to the share
cd c:
fw
Warning!, I give you no warranty that it will work correctly for you! The dos environment is not the same as the one booted by the official CD-ROM, but the patching worked for me.
From the readme
Important Notice: Please REMOVE hard drive password.
Otherwise firmware can't be updated with error message.
GOOD LUCK!

After upgrading php to version 5.2.2 amfPHP or cakeamfphp stopped working!
Thankfully i found a quick fix on sourceforge
You only need to add this code at the top of gateway.php
if (!isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)){
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents('php://input');
}

Searching for an UML Aggregation Shape, because there was only a Composition Shape available in Visio, I found a nice tutorial from Brigham Young University Computer Science Department. It explains with illustrations that you have to take the Composition Shape and then change its options.
