Yeah, I'm sure I just did something stupid, so I think I'm going to need to just reinstall and try it all over again. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate my CD-Key.

Thanks again for the assistance everybody.

You need a CD Key?

You only need the CD key to play online. You dont need it to install the game.

Okay, I reinstalled everything and...had the same problems. I guess that means I am just a complete moron. Could you guys help again?

How exactly do I download and incorporate these files? I mean step by step, I worry I'm too primitive and backward for anything less. Thanks again everbody.

GOOD LUCK it's worthed

ps you had eb working without the mods and bi i hope if so make a backup copy of the entire game its save you so much time with reinstalling

All that seems to be in order, my RTW and BI work stand alone and so does my EB without any of the downloaded add-ons. The problem seems to be exactly how I'm downloading these mods and replacing the files: I delete the files with the same name (EBBS script and descr.mercenaries, etc.) and "extract the files" from winrar "to the specified folder", i.e. where those other files existed previously (I've checked, I'm putting them in the appropriate folders and deleting all my map.rwm files). Is this all kosher? What should I be doing?
