Vista problems

[Theages]

I am using Vista x64 without any problems. I installed a gold edition RTW
The saves folder is found at:

harddisk:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\EB\saves

harddisk = letter of install drive
if you made a copy of your vanilla RTW for EB installation, look for \EB\saves in your_path_to_RomeTW.exe, where your_path_to_RomeTW.exe means the path to your copy of the original RTW game files (where the rometw.exe can be found)

RTW did and does not use Microsofts recommended place for game saves etc. So there are no files of RTW in "MyGames" or c:\users\username\appdata\local (local low / roaming). EBV81av2 had an entry in roaming.

I myself had a minor problem installing EBv1 when I tried to install it when I had EBV81aV2 still installed (in a different folder). The installer gave some error (I do not remember what it was). After deinstalling both EB and making a new copy of the original RTW files, installation did succeed without an error.

I cleaned every single RTW file off my cpu, reinstalled RTW 1.0, and the damned battles still CTD - even simple ones. I have no idea what to do and the people at the .com have no worthwhile advice to offer ("turn off background apps, etc.") All drivers have been updated as much as they will allow. So incredibly frustrated...

Done that already, can not figure out where it is
