well, *grumble* i cant find anything any more. i posted about this somewhere.

you have to get rid of the modded startpos files in your mtw game first. actually, i think you can just remove them after you install vi also. just move them out of the folder, the modded ones, and it shld work fine then.

if you didnt have any modded files in mtw and you know mtw was working just fine prior to your viking install, just install vikings again. this shld correct it. if not, then look at the readme file that comes with vikigns and follow their tech support stuff.

but the egyptian message is a known error message when you have a modded mtw startpos file. there's nothing wrong with vikings in this case.

if you wish to save your modded mtw stuff, then again, look at the readme file on how to set up a dual install of mtw and mtw vikings.
