SUCCESS with VISTA!

Post it, please - everyone must be aware what you have chosen because I will not be able to update the faction list in the main testing thread too soon...

Just run it in service pack 1 mode. That's it. I even ran it 3 or 4 turns, but seeing as I can't stand this game anymore, that was all I could do.

If someone wouldn't mind spreading this to totalwar.com and TWCenter, I'd appreciate it. I really don't want to log in just for that.

Yeah, because I remembered someone mentioned at totalwar.com that ever since service pack 2 came out, it caused problems for MTW VI. If you want a falt proof game, you SHOULD upgrade to Vista, than service pack 1 becomes available.

It seems from what I've heard that Vista has been causing problems with newer games, even ones designed with Vista in mind.

I thought I had it licked, but I was only able to play "X" number of turns and I experience a CTD. The number of turns range anywhere from 3 on up. When the Vista service pack 1 came out I applied it and for a while it seemed to help. Then, after playing quite a number of turns I experienced another CTD.

I going to uninstall it and than re-install it correctly this time, that is under the user account manager and see if that helps. Before I installed it the last time I changed the campatiblity of the set up to XP SP2. From what Wladslaw says XP SP2 also had caused problems with MTW. I'm hoping that when I install it in the normal Vista environment (if there is such a thing) I can play it through without a CTD. I'll let you know.

Personally, I wish I had never bought this Vista piece of crap.

No. Just put it in sercive pack ONE mode. Don't change anything else.
