Problem with eb1.0

[bovi]

I prefer ATI myself, as NVidias drivers have been unstable for me at many times. Upgrading your graphics card alone probably won't make much of a difference with performance, as your CPU and RAM is also lacking. As we've turned off all the bells and whistles, I don't think upgrading it will make EB work either.

Comparing against my own starting a campaign, your game quits after reading everything to do with diplomats and before reading anything concerning spies. I notice you still have spaces in your folder structure. Please try to rename the C:\Europa Barbarorum 1.0 folder to C:\EB10, if you didn't before. I don't expect it to work, but it can't harm to try.

Also, you should probably install 0.81aV2 again, and compare the preferences there (if it works, of course!) with what you have now. Try to copy the preferences from there too. At the very least we can eliminate that from the list of suspects.

I renamed it, now is C:\EB10

Another strange thing that hapens. I start the game and apears the screen with europa barbarorum, Total War, Creative Assembly, etc... But when the game starts loading, all the screen become Black and all i can see is the green bar growing at the lower part of the screen, loading. Then apears the menu screen. Then i start the campaing and all turns black again, and all i can see is the green bar. When the loading finishes, all turns back and the lovely CTD shows himself.

I can't install the 0.81aV2 again. When i open the instaler, it says that an error ocurred because a superios version of Europa Barbarorum is installed. But anyway, as you changed the preferences to the lowest possible, how could the 0.81aV2 preference make something?

You can use 7-zip to install it. You did similarly already with 1.0. I don't think the preferences file will help, but then we at least can eliminate that as a possible reason for the problems. And I want to know that 0.81aV2 works.

By the way, I see "Malik of Sindh" has got a graphics card in the same series as you (Geforce 5200), so that shouldn't be the issue.

I can't install 0.81aV2 even using 7-zip.

Right click on EB081aFinal.exe, 7-zip, open file, double click on EB081av2.msi

Is this the right way to install through 7-zip?

[bovi]

Simply extract all the files using 7-zip into a clean 1.5 RTW directory. You can delete the msi file afterwards or leave it be.

Oh God... i didn't install 1.0 this way O.o ,
this is how i installed 1.0:Right click on EB10.exe, 7-zip, open file, double click on EB10.msi
Could this different installation cause the CTD that i'm experiencing?
I extracted all the 0.81aV2 files in a clean version of rome total war 1.5, but no icon appeared, and when i click Rome.exe starts the rome total war vanilla...
