EB stops responding when opened

[Nice Jerk]

I've been looking forward to playing this mod for months, I hope you guys can help me get it working.

When I open eb single player.exe, the red Rome TW splash screen comes up, then the brown EB screen appears. This is where the game just stops responding. I have to crtl alt delete and close EB.

To fix the problem I have completely uninstalled, then reinstalled rome and EB four different times. I have the version that comes with 3 CDs. I patch to 1.3, then 1.5, then install EB. I've even deleted EB and re-downloaded it from the torrent each time, as every time i do the install validation program I get errors. I have also installed every 1.1 fix.

Here is my current install validation report

I also have the process monitor log, but I don't see an "attach file" button.

Somebody please help me out here.. I can only entertain myself by reading the faction history and unit descriptions for so long. :>

Oh yeah, I also tried using 7-zip to manually extract EB, but 7-zip won't work on it. When I try, 7-zip says "cannot open eb1.1.exe as an archive."

Problem solved with help from the twcenter. Guess I'm just impatient.
