Ok, I've downloaded and then extracted the files to my desktop but I'm unfortunately pretty darn clueless when it comes to computer stuff... What do I do now? heh.
Do I put these two files into my MTW gold edition folder or what?

Well I'm not sure where the MTW Gold Edition installs to, but it should be something like:
C:\Sega\Medieval - Total War Gold\campmap\buttons
Or:
C:\Medieval - Total War Gold\campmap\buttons
Just copy the files into the \campmap\buttons directory and it should prompt you as to whether you want to overwrite, click yes.
Yup, got it working! Thanks a bunch!

Thankyou, you are a god among men, peter_de123. There are no words good enough to express how happy and thankful I am for this fix.

Thanks, I got a gaming laptop yesterday and this morning I installed M:TW and was getting the CTD when starting a campaign. I'm already reinstalling it but oh well atleast I will have the problem solved.
Finally. I am able to play this game for the first time. Thank you.
Here is the system I am running it on in case anyone was wondering about compatability:
Vista Ultimate 64-bit
E8600, 780i, 4GB DDR2
GTX 280 (181.20)
X-fi Fatal1ty
Sadly while replacing the two small files gets the game running to the Campaign calendar part of the game, it doesn't resolve the issue about the mouse not recognising or moving units in real-tile battles. I was so upbeat about having repaired the game until I tried the first battle, and the same fault occurred.
Is it an nVidia driver issue (just downloaded the latest drivers dated 21/1/09 which didn't cure it) or can anyone recommend a few graphics tweaks to cure the problem on an 8800 card?
The two button files will only cure problems with the campaign map, this is because they are physical parts of the campaign map UI (the up/down arrows on the unit/building review panel at the bottom of your screen).
There is no cure for the problem in battles. It is caused by the Nvidia display drivers. I advise that you have a quick skim through the thread below. You will not see any solutions there, but it will give you an idea of the scale and duration of this problem. So far Nvidia have not commented, nor have they done anything to help their customers. You will see that of those that contacted tech support, I think pretty much all were told that the game itself was to blame.
I advise that if you want have any hope at all of running this game, you should invest in an ATI graphics card. It is not guaranteed that it will work, but people are having much more success with ATI than they are with Nvidia 8xxx and 9xxx series graphics cards.

This has been attempted before but is always worth attempting again. I had seen the problem on a 7xxx series Nvidia card and changing some settings did seem to solve it. On 8xxx and 9xxx series cards none have had any luck so far however.
This is the thread at Nvidia forums relating to this exact issue: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=40869

Thanks peter. Really odd though, I installed on my new machine and it ran perfectly. Then I had to reinstall since my machine decided to delete the exes and dlls for both MTW and RTW. After that I got this error.

I'm sorry to bump this but does anyone know why it worked fine last night? I mean I managed to play the campaign for few hours although with crashes. I got CTD when I tried to click interface etc. Today, earlier, I couldn't even load a new campaign or my saved campaign from last night. I'm running Vista Home Premium, Dual AMD 5200, etc. in case you're wondering.
Anyway, I downloaded the two buttons and its working again now. Thanks so much for the trouble finding it. I don't have BIF reader on this machine but I plan to look at the N:TW buttons and the default ones and try to see what the problem is.. soon. I'll let you know if I do but can't promise lol.

I 've installed the original two disc 1.0 version of MTW. I've managed to get this close (") to playing. I can play all battles: custom, quick. I can't play the Campaign. Is there a solution for the 1.1 or 1.0 version?

I used the same ones to install plus one (VI disc). I'm sure the 1.1 uses the same buttons so download them if you haven't. I have Vista with intergrated chip, GeForce 6150 SE. My campaign map crash was solved by installing these buttons. Also, I used to have crashed on battle map too but those were gone as soon as I switched my desktop resolution, battle map and campaign map to 1024x768. I also went to Nvidia control panel and changed anti aliasing to 2x but it must be changed globally or it will revert back. I'm a happy guy now because I have not crashed ever since! Well, except when trying to exit from campaign map because I play XL mod in debug mode lol.I 've installed the original two disc 1.0 version of MTW. I've managed to get this close (") to playing.

I know it is actually a bit unrelated, but I am not where else to post my little moment of joy:
I had an oldish comp, with an ATI Radeon X1650 on it, that was perfectly happy to run MTW for me.
Then, disaster! My graphics card died a month ago. After a bit of a small epic, I replaced it with an EAH4550 (Radeon tech Asus card). Sure enough, That card was wayyy to modern to bother with something as fustian as MTW.
And then it occured to me : As my machine is oldish, what about the onboard graphics?
Nervously, I rebooted my computer, nestling the monitor plug with shaking hands out of the graphics card slot, and plugging it into the onboard exit (Nvidia 6100). AND LO! The game is running again.
So, if your machine is about 2 years or older, your onboard graphics port might be your best friend for running MTW, should your snazzy new GPU refuse to cooperate.

I got a new card a few months ago - Nvidea GeForce 6200.
Been playing other games, mainly called Shogun:TW. Then finally got back to M:TW, only to get this horrible CTD bug. Thankfully these two little files seem to have fixed the problem and I'm now trying out the Sicilians for the first time.
BTW, these files came from a Nap mod? Is the rest of the mod worth a try? I've not tried a mod before, so thought of giving it a go. The one I noticed in the Downloads seems to have various bits and pieces to download with no explanation of what is needed or what to do with them.
Works like a charm, Thanks.
"This is no way for a leader to behave, but in battle it's beyond belief."
I'm still having a problem with the battlemap. The battle map loads but I'm getting a flickering of the screen. The pointer arrow also leaves trails when I move the mouse. With the game options I can only set the resolution of the battle map to 640 x 480. I have Nvidia 9600. Any sugestions would be appreciated.

HELP !!
I have just tried to download the
"rapidshare.com/files/115211547/MTWGoldv2.01CTDFix.zip" file from rapidshare.com and cannot as the search engine cannot trace the file!!
I did try to download this file just before Xmas ( 2009 ) and found that the free download did not work. I then decided to pay using Paypal and was doing OK until I found out that the Credit Card I had listed with Paypal had expired and Paypal tried to debit my Cheque A/C, but got refused. This cancelled my transaction. I did set up a new credit card with Paypal shortly after, but did not revist Rapidshare at that time to recommence the transaction. Big mistake !!
It seems that rapidshare have revamped their systems since then, as the access etc. is completly different now. The new search engine cannot find the file at all (so maybe the file is no longer hosted ? ) !!
Therefore the link information provided by Peter123 is now ( I think ) redundant!!
Can anyone else provide the relevant "ipnext.bif" & "ipprev.bif" buttons for me direct or make them available somewhere and provide the link information here ??
Many thanks.

The link works fine: http://rapidshare.com/files/11521154...D_Fix.zip.html
Click on "free user".
I feel a trite foolish after trying your link!
In my defence I did various searches on the rapidshare.com website.
Following Peter123's instructions ( incorrectly ), I tried :-
MTWGoldv2.01CTD
MTWGoldv2.01CTDFix.
MTWGoldv2.01CTDFix.zip
files ( no trace ! )
115211547
files/115211547
files/115211547/MTWGoldv2.01CTDFix.zip.
Evidently I should have left in those _'s and/or the .html !!
Thanks for putting me right. Sorry re any "panic" caused.
File downloaded today.
It was very quick & easy ( minute or so max - unlike my previous attempt before xmas ) !
