Woah you're having the exact same problem I'm having. Sorry to bring up any false hope by replying but.. I dunno xP

Anyway if I find out something, I'll let you know.

I found something after a few hours of searching around. On a hunch I went to the Empire at War Filefront site to see if there was a patch and there was.

http://empireatwar.filefront.com/file/Forces_of_Corruption_RAM_fix;107025

Apparently there's an issue with 64bit OS's with more than 2 gigs of RAM, so this patch fixes it. I installed it and it works perfectly now.
