    What's the game details you're using? Battle resolution, unit size, campaign map resolution, particle effects, hardware or software acceleration?
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    If you are running Vista 64-bit, I think you need to run MTW under compatibility mode. I believe Win2000 works best. You should definitely apply the button fix, your graphics card is going to give you trouble.

    peter_de123 found that replacing the two .bif files that represented the previous and next buttons on the campaign map fixed the campaign map CTD when using nVidia 8/9XXX series cards. He used the previous and next buttons from the Napoleon MTW mod, I'm guessing the mod version of the buttons get rendered differently and don't crash the game. The link in that post points you to a zip file with the 2 buttons from the mod, all you need to do is download it, unzip, and place the .bif files in the "Medieval - Total War\campmap\buttons" directory. You should probably back up the originals, button_ipnext.bif and button_ipprev.bif (change their names by appending ".orig" to them) prior to overwriting them.

    I know this is somewhat off topic and I can't find a clear answer to this using the search function, but does MTW work with Win 7? Or will I need to do some tweaking? I was thinking of buying the Gold edition but I don't want to waste my money if it won't work.
