Jerome and Duke John,

I've tried again. It still doesn't work, regardless of my vid settings, or what I put in the units file (excluding phalanx of course). I turned all my in game vid settings to minimum, added, spear, and even reduced secondary weapon stats to be lower than primary. Shadows and all other special items are off. When my now peg legged triarii started into melee I got a black screen and CTD same as usual. I pulled up the following details:

DDHELP caused an invalid page fault in

And now, if I try to run RTW (before I reboot) it tells me that it can't find DX9.

I am puzzled as to how you are getting this to work DJ.
