What do you mean you cant play original shogun without taking MI out...?
You mean you have to uninstall the x-pack to play the original?
Did you get Warlords Edition or just the Mongol Invasion? If MI, why not try using either CD keys you have: try first with the MI key, and then with the original STW key if the MI key does not work. Can't say it will help, but its worth a try. I got WE and I've never had a problem so far getting online with either version...
Perhaps someone at EA could answer this better. Or try posting your problem to Erado... perhaps he has insights gained from other similar complaints...?

Mini,
Sounds like you installed MI into the same directory and folder that the original game was in. If you want to keep them separate, you'll need to install if to a different directory.
I picked up WE so it defaulted to a WE file structure within the Total War Folder. From what you're saying, my guess is that MI doesn't do that, it just overwrites the existing files. If that's the case, all you should need to do would be to re-install the original and make sure you re-name the folder that it's installing to (something like TotalWarOriginal).
Whatever the case, this belongs over in the Tech Support Forum.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
so simply click re-install then rename the directory and the orginal shogun will work again?

That should do it Mini. When I installed WE, it created a new folder called Warlord Edition.
So what I ended up with was similar to what you suggested:
C:\programfiles\totalwar\shogun-totalwar
C:\programfiles\totalwar\shogun-totalwar-warlord edition
I would try uninstalling the game and re-installing from scratch. Check to see if MI has an uninstaller that will leave you with what you had before you started first. I would also suggest doing a full install if you have the disk space for it.

Bear in mind that there's no guarantee that what I've suggested will work. It's just an idea I had based on what I've seen on my box and what I've heard/read here and at the .com forum.
Whether it works or not Mini, let us all (and Erado in particular) know!
