PS: if this has been answered before, I didn't have time to read the whole thread- and me and forum search engines ar at war with each other.
You say you "put files where it seems they should go". Where exactly is that, the "Total War" folder, or the default "Medieval - Total War" folder? Total War is correct. Look inside your Medieval - Total War folder and if you find another Medieval - Total War folder inside, then you installed to the wrong folder.
