I have Vista, and in the guide it says that you can make a backup of the clean RTW 1.5 outside of the Program Files folder, so I just copied the entire Steam folder into a Games folder I have under Users. When installing, I specified the folder with Roman Total War Gold in it like the guide says. Does the fact that I still have the original Steam folder with all the RTW games in my C:/Program Files folder have anything to do with why I can't launch it? Should I have deleted the original or actually reinstalled the game into the new Games folder rather than just copying it? Oh, and by clean copy of 1.5, do you mean no saved games on it either?
I'm trying to use steam since Direct2Drive is a horrible company and wont allow my activation keys to work anymore for my original copies of Rome Total war.

regardles i folllowed mk56's nstructions as well but instead of Failed to find Steam error message when it starts to load i get a CTD.
