Ah, yea, I guess that makes sense, it's a bit old and I guess some gamers may have written it off as inferior by now... I still love it though. Thanks for the tip.

So I finally got around to installing the full catalyst thing and set my anti-aliasing to 2 x.
I loaded up the game and tried to start the campaign and it CTD'd again...

I can think of anything else to do.

Should I try installing the "additional" updates? it doesn't explain very well what they do, so I don't know if I need them.

The only other option that I can think of is this idea I read on one of the stickies, and that is to troubleshoot the problem with the napoleon total war mod. Or can I do that with any mod? I've never actually used a mod before, for anything, so I'm not too sure about how to go about using them.
The link given in the sticky only shows the option for those 2 files, where do I get the full mod?

I figure since the nvidia has trouble with those files, maybe my card has trouble with certain files, but since my card is different maybe it has trouble with different files?

Thanks Again, I really appreciate it.
