Hello Metropolis007,
What version of Windows are you currently using?
I have been researching on Eidos.com and it appears that Imperial Glory is not compatible with Windows Vista / 7. I also have been unable to find anything on the Windows 7 / Vista Compatibility Website.
If you are on Vista / 7, try using compatibility mode to determine is the resolves your issue. If this does not help, I would suggest that you visit eidos.com and utilize the forums and possible additional support channels that they offer for the particular game.
Hope this helps
