I just finished installing every thing again, and the problem persists. I runned RTW 1.3 from my cd (to program files-the creative assembly-rtw - I have xp), upgraded it to 1.5, installed EB1.1 to the same folder, and then the 1.2 also to the same folder. Restarted my pc just in case and I started the game. It took about 1.30 m to get to the menu (as usual), and 1.1 was all that was there... The folder you told about, with the request to remove and everything, was there alright, inside the rtw folder, together with all the rest, and I deleted it... This is becoming very frustrating! Please help.
