Anyone got any idea why this might be?

thx.
I learned a lot of this the hard way, so follow each instruction carefully below.

1. Uninstall M2TW
2. Delete M2TW folder and all subfolders
3. Delete any registry entry that contains "medieval" or "sega"
4. Delete all files in your temp folder and your Windows/prefetch folder
5. Reboot
6. Install M2TW in a folder that is NOT the default folder
7. Delete the temp folder contents and reboot
8. Install patch 1.02 making sure you have at least 4 GB free on your hard drive, more (5-6GB), if your temp folder is on the same drive as your M2TW installation folder.
9. Reboot
10. Install latest version of KOTRfix
11. Start M2TW. It should work.

12. If it does not, unpack the character_traits file and make sure its a 1.02 version and not a 1.01 or 1.00 version (check for presence of the GoodSaboteur trait) If that's not present, repeat all steps above but make even more hard drive space. Its unlikely, but the only way really. If still not working, post again.
