I haven't played any original mtw since I was living at home. Since moving to school, I've gotten a newer laptop and no matter what I try I can't get this game to run on my laptop. I know it has something to do with vista, and my evil graphics card that was also new and has no old drivers to fall back on. So until summer break I am without mtw. I've tried rome and m2tw and they just aren't the same to me, I never like the new campaign map.

I wish CA showed some love and make a new patch to get the game running on newer systems, and i didn't have to scour the depths of the internet in search of possible fixes.

whatever comes first, I find a fix that works, or I go home for summer break, I will regain some valuable playing time for this game on my old desktop.
