    Thanks for all the help so far R'as.

    Ok, that file was gone in the temp folder so I ran Shogun again to get a new error report and this is the file:

    I can hopefully help to resolve the flicker menu issue.
    The flickering is generally caused by hardware acceleration available on recent video card.

    To solve the issue right-click on the windows background:
    - select "Properties" to show the dialogue box "Display Properties."
    - select "Settings" tab and then click on "Advanced" button; this bring up another dialogue box.
    - select "Troubleshoot" tab and slide the slider next to "Hardware acceleration" to None.

    Hopefully this piece of advice will resolve the woes which beset me when I recently purchase
    Shogun Total War - Gold Edition.

    Default AW: Need help installing on new comp

    Konban ha, Omi-san.

    Thanks for the advice and welcome to the Org. One question: Does this modification have any drawbacks concerning other graphics applications (e.g. games, videos, normal pc usage...)?

    I have tried that option in the past and in my experience it doesn't work. If you drag hardware acceleration to "none" the game will probably crash with a "Direct3D could not be initialised" error or something similar.

    In response to patdj,

    I guess that I can only comment from my experience - that this does resolve the issue and I did not notice any other issues with the game (in comparison to my older computer, which was a win95 install, and the reason I want to solve the annoying issue.)

    I can only suggest you try it for yourself and see whether it works on your system.
    If you have success or failure, then please share your experince as Asai Nagamasa has done.

    Obviously, you will probably need to adjust this for playing other more modern games, for which hardware accelerators will probably be exploited/necessary.

    Hi guys im a new member and have come to you with a problem :(

    I played STW years ago and loved it, since i lost the game and here we are now i bought the game again on ebay and with a new laptop. I tried installing from disc and when ever i click "install game" from the sold out menu it just dosnt open anything. So what i tried to do was explore the disc and try running "ShogunW.exe" and it brings up 3 errors which i later tried to fix manually.

    Cannot find "Weachatr.dll"
    Cannot find "Wearsr.dll"
    Cannot find "Weanewsr.dll"

    So i copied all the disc contents to a temp folder on my desktop and downloaded the 3 missing DLLs into the same folder. Then "ShogunW.exe" does actually run, then brings up a new error "Please insert correct CD" when infact the original STW disc is still in the CD drive..

    Im quite computer literate but this has got me stumped :( HELP?!!

    You are trying to run the actual game .exe which won't work, because you haven't installed the game as yet.

    Try running "setup.exe" instead, this should bypass the installer menu that "Sold Out Software" have probably put on the disc.

    Ive tried that on the original disc and in the temp folder i created. I run it and nothing happens, although in task manager (processes) it is actually running in the background. I dont understand why or where the setup is getting stuck.. ?? Am i the only person to have this problem?? :(
