Start of Campaign CTD, help!

Hello,

I am having difficulties getting EB to work after having uninstalled Rome:TW and all mods some time ago. I reinstalled Rome:TW and patched it to version 1.5, then played the tutorial campaign through. I then re-downloaded EB 1.1 and the 1.2 patch and then installed them. I then attempted to start an EB campaign.

After faction selection I encountered a CTD while the loading screen was up for entering the campaign map. After this I tried again, same result. Then I tried an un modded campaign, and it CTD'd after faction selection as well. I restarted my PC, and tried another un modded campaign, this one worked. Then I tried an EB campaign and had the same CTD occur after faction selection. I went back to regular 1.5 rome and the same thing occurred there as well. I came to the forums looking for help. I did everything on the check list that bovi has posted. I was using nero, removed that, uninstalled R:TW and EB, reinstalled them. Same result. I attempted to use the installation validation tool, but it just gives me a gigantic list of missing files, and a gigantic list of added files. The missing files dont seem to be missing, i checked quite a few out and they are where they were supposed to be. The added files seem to be from BI. I thought that perhaps i installed the EB files into the wrong place, but they are in the R:TW folder right next to the vanilla data folder. I can run a custom battle without a problem in EB.

Whatever the problem seems to be it seems to affect regular rome version 1.5 just as much as EB, but only after I have tried to load up a campaign in EB. I can run a vanilla 1.5 campaign fine after a restart, but EB no way no how.

I figure that I could use some help at this stage. If anyone has run into this problem before and has some insight, I could use it.

PS I am running windows XP 1.75 gig of ram, geforce 6200 with the very latest drivers.
