hope this helps. Of course I'm happy to keep running it if it does. Just let me know.
Thanks again!

It still includes stuff under Windows rather than RTW, but it's okay though. I haven't seen that before, with water surface being the last file accessed before shutting down.

Hey wait a minute! You said earlier that you've got RTR working. But RTR installs under 1.2, doesn't it? Are you sure you've patched RTW to 1.5 before installing EB? EB won't work on 1.2.

**Tellos Athenaios** · 08-21-2007, 02:08

I left them with Thread Acitivity turned on in my guide. This has the side effect of some Windows thingies creeping in; but has the added benefit of being able to see the exact moment RTW CTD's. Thread Exit, it's called IIRC.

**Harald Hardrada** · 08-21-2007, 05:18

Yeah the version isn't a problem because I COMPLETELY uninstalled, reinstalled, re-patched, RTW and applied of the permanent and temp fixes. The crash info I posted in from a clean copy. Plus I tried EB before RTR and it crashed earlier and then at the same spot (after the 2nd installation) and I just installed RTR to test in general whether or not I could get A mod to work. The EB I'm trying to fix now is either the third or fourth clean install, etc that I have tried and all but the first time I've had the same crash. It is definitely 1.5 though.

**bovi** · 08-21-2007, 07:14

Okay, I'm running out of ideas now, sorry... But a couple of shots in the dark, all unlikely to solve the problem:

* Run in compatible mode or whatever it's called in Vista
* Rename water_surface.tga so it won't find the file and default to the vanilla one
* Upgrade your graphics driver just in case
* Close all kinds of other programs you have running, including services

BTW, how much RAM do you have?

**Harald Hardrada** · 08-21-2007, 12:39

Ok I'll try those. I have 2 Gigs of RAM. My computer shouldn't be an issue -
M2TW works great at max settings with 4x AA and 8x or more AIF @1024x768. I will try all of those suggestions though and let you know if any work. The water file seems like the best bet to me but lets see. Thanks again. Sorry this is such a pain. The help is really appreciated though.

**Harald Hardrada** · 08-21-2007, 16:52

I tried the water surface fix by 1) changing the name to nonwater... and 2) by changing the name to wtr... just to be sure the name wasn't the issue. Neither worked. Next step for me I think, unless anyone has any last minute ideas, is to by a copy of RTW vanilla GOLD so its already at 1.5 and then redownload and reinstall EB. Thanks again.
