    This sounds like a unique problem, but you should nevertheless try the solutions that have helped others. See the EB installation validation thread for a checklist, and say what you've done of them. As you can play 0.81, I doubt there is any hardware problem.

    It's realy weird, no error or message ocurred through all instalation, but when I start the game it takes a lot of time to load and get to menu screen, and it starts winkling, and part of it gets purple. All advices that found in this forum are about errors of instalation, validation, but no error ocurred in my instalation, and I got the original CD of the game. I followed correctly all the guides and advices of instalation

    Ill download the game again and hope that will make any diference, till there could anyone give me a new advice

    Sorry, but when others have said they did "all" of the things in the validation thread they invariably have not. Please post the checklist and what you've done of them.

    Sorry Bovi for not posting results :S, but here they are:
    I reinstalled Rome, 1.3, 1.5, then unpacked the EB things using 7-zip, and installed.
    I Ran the validation, and apeared this message:
    You seem to have a functioning install.
    No changes to the original files seem to have been made, however some are added.
    ==========
    Added file: .\persistent_logs\ai_subterfuge.txt
    Added file: .\persistent_logs\issued_advice.txt
    Added file: .\persistent_logs\issued_ancillaries.txt
    Added file: .\persistent_logs\issued_traits.txt

    I donwloaded the map.rwm file and placed it in eb/data/world/maps/base.

    But my menu screen keeps crazy and I still cant start camaping or custom, CTD.
    What you meant with add -nm to shortcut? Will be like EB10-nm?
    I'll try the another fixes...

    I actually meant the checklist, not the validation results, but thanks for those all the same (they check out ).

    Your current shortcut probably has in the target field (right-click and choose properties):
    c:\your\rtw\folder\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb

    Change this to
    c:\your\rtw\folder\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -nm

    While you're at it, you can add -ne as well if you want to run it windowed:
    c:\your\rtw\folder\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -nm -ne

    X Using a nocd crack? Your game won't work, use the original executable instead. There is no point in trying the rest of the list until you install a fresh, clean 1.5 RTW.
    X Install RTW and EB once again, from scratch
    X Install using 7-zip rather than installer
    X Download a map.rwm file and place it in eb/data/world/maps/base (requires both the disaster and Oppida permanent fixes)
    _ Add -nm to the shortcut
    _ Delete some interfering files that Vista hides in its bowels
    X Run the validation tool to diagnose the problem
    _ Install the fixes linked in my sig
    _ Add more swap space in Windows, and other technical measures you can take
    X Using RTW Gold? Try to uninstall everything and do not install BI
    _ Got an ATI Radeon X700 graphics card? Apparently some setting called "Support DXT textures format" is creating problems. Try to change this setting for the driver called "Support DXT textures format".

    I installed all the fixes but nothing changes.

    I dont use vista or ATI Radeon X700 graphics card.

    I don't have any RomeTW.exe -mod:eb
    When i add nm to mu RomeTW.exe its format changes and i can't run the game.

    Ill try the technical measures and see what hapens = o

    It's format... changes? You do know that EB 0.8x has this switch by default, and works by your own words? Please check that you've got it correctly.
