Since I posted this in the mod forum but got no answers at all I decided to post it here.

I have the original Rome:Total War (No BI installed) with the 1.5 patch installed. I downloaded the VBM v1.1. Afterwards whenever I try to start a new campaign the game just goes straight back to the main menu. How can I fix this? Also after I unistall VBM my game keeps crashing back to the desktop.
