Like this
[code]

[/cod]*

* should be /code

So it will look like this:

You need to close the CODE tag, with [/CODE], and open it with [CODE]:
[cod]
Filemon output
Filemon output
Filemon output
Filemon output
Filemon output
Filemon output
Filemon output
Filemon output
[/cod]
Where cod should be code.

And please filter to only read the RTW directory. I'm not sure if it's changed in Process Monitor, but in Filemon you find it in Options=>Filter/Highlight. Add the directory and RomeTW.exe to the includes:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War;RomeTW.exe

And any other process that clutters it up to excludes.

As the last couple of lines are usually just RTW cleaning up after the crash, you can't see what's the problem there and you'll need to post more of it here. Say, the last 200 lines or so. Please experiment with using the CODE tag until you get it right first though, as it's a pain to read otherwise.

Well here you go. I hope this is how it is supposed to be. I "included" the path the RTW directory and the process for the .exe seperately so hopefully it filtered it the way you wanted. Like I said I've never used this type of program before and filemon and procmon are a little different. Back to business:

I hope this posts correctly. If not I will keep posting until I get it right. Thanks again to everyone for your help.

Hmm. It appears Process Monitor is not very like Filemon after all. That output tells me absolutely nothing, it doesn't include information about which file it's working on

That's because he hasn't been filtering. Or rather has been filtering, but didn't apply the filter himself and is using a standard filter instead...

Once I knew how to make it work (it's a bit more tricksy than Filemon in that aspect, and a lot more powerful too).

Let me get back to you later, when I've downloaded, installed it, and have written a guid on how to apply filters on it too... Since I've got a bit of internal forum going to do tonight, it may take a while though.

@Bovi, if I have finished that guide would you be willing to add a section to "how to ask for help with a crash" regarding loading CTD's & the help of Filemon/Procmon? Then you can include it as a sub-guide, that way 'we all benefit'.
