    Thank you for the reply ElectricEel but I'm running EB on a clean RTW 1.5 install. There should be no problems with BI/Alex. whatsoever. Hopefully someone will know what to do! Else I'll be a sad sad camper

    Have you tried to run the validation tool (the bat file in your RTW directory) yet?

    Did you download EB from the torrent; or did you use an FTP style link? In case of the latter, I suggest you redownload - better yet if you happen to have torrent client software (available for free on the net) you can download the torrent file, and do the following:

    -place your possibly corrupted EB installer in the directory your torrent client software uses for storing downloads;
    -'run' the torrent file with your client software.

    It should then check if every section of the file matches the released installer's counterpart; and if not it should redownload that bit of the file.

    I used the torrent file for downloading 1.1 and did as you said, Tellos Athenaios. It wasn't missing anything though (The .exe file) so my .exe file should be completely healthy.

    About the validation tool, all it does is create a black window full of white text telling me that the validation could take a couple of mins, followed by a "Validation is complete *yiddi yadda* ...press any button to continue..." (Don't really know the real term for it, so I'll just referr to it as "Black Window", bear with me). When pressing the "Enter" button, for simplicity, it tells me that there is no document called "ebValidationResults" and asks me if I'd like to create one. I press "yes" and am greeted with an empty text document leaving me no clues at all as to what might be wrong.

    As I mentioned in my first post I've modified some files, nothing big, to create a, for me, more enjoyable EB experience. Could this be the source of the problems perhaps?

    It could very well be the cause of your problem. Yeah, I know it sucks but you should really try to undo your changes, and then see if the 'regular' EB works.
