Compatible with?

[Darkvicer98]

What's MTW compatible with? I have a Windows Vista and a Windows ME and it doesn't work on Vista but it sort of works on ME.

I know it works without any problems on XP. Not sure if that helps you out.

I believe it will work on either of those OS's. The main concern will be your video card/drivers. What video card do you have?

[Darkvicer98]

In Windows ME i have Intel Express. In Vista i know it definately won't work.

Yeah, Vista already has an unsavory reputation among Total War players, particularly those who like playing MTW and/or Shogun. Although for that matter, I've heard that some people have even had trouble getting Rome to run on it.

So yeah, ME is almost certainly your best bet. STW and MTW both ran just fine on my old PC (which had Windows 98 as its OS), and they both run on my current machine (which has XP) with no problems.

As drone said, most people's issues are related to the video card and/or its drivers....especially if the drivers are more recent. Do you know which driver version you're currently using for your Intel Express card?

[Darkvicer98]

I'm not sure what the driver is. RTW works on my Vista. MTW on ME works ok but the campaign map goes white after 10secs and battle don't work which is strange because it works on STW but the campaign don't work.
