Fraps benchmarking, doesn't have any overhead.
I would record the scripted overview in the prologue that flies over the units, or one of the historic battles, that way you get the closest possible...

Did you install in Administrator mode?
Make sure you have User Account Control disabled as well.

Are you using a mod?

You need to use Alchemy to get hardware+EAX support in Windows Vista.

I have the same issue, getting this error :

Vanilla works fine, was playing Lands to Conquer before this as well.
Re-installed...

Make sure when you run a Registry Cleaner you go over the list of what it found to be broken and make sure that it doesn't list any shortcuts you use, or applications (Rome Total War registry keys...

As for the IP address, you need to give the IP address for the NIC in your computer, not your internet address. Setting it manually so its 'static' (doesn't change) is a must if you port forward...

No. You can use one, and it will be fine. In fact with older SLi motherboards the slots share bandwidth so there is less bandwidth between the two resulting in worse performance in SLI mode when the...

Funny, I get blood with shader1.

That's imposible.
What language is your game in and what patch did you download?

Extreme requires 512MB of video memory. Ah well! And yeah...I recall seeing screenshots of extreme shadows. It's nothing to punch yourself for missing out on.

Are you posting this because you just realized overclocking exists? It's been around since computers were purchasable. That's since 1975! You probably didn't even exist then?


ATI Tool is for ATI...

You could chuck in 512MB of RAM and a 6600GT 128MB for little money however that's better spent on half a new system.

Turn vertical sync off in your graphics card's control panel (to force it off in all games).
Forget dx-tweaker.

Hmm depends on where it was manufactured really. If it's a perfectly normal retail edition it should be fine, if something was wrong with it, other games would crash.
Hard to believe Company of...

I don't know if it's a 775, and I have no way of telling unless you can get a hold of the PC or would happen to know where the mobo manual is.

You could probably chuck in a good graphics card like...

2001 = old = fail.

That problem is completely unrelated. Hardware and drivers today are just too new for that game.

^^^ Ignore that.

Have you removed the registry keys?
Start > run > regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SEGA\Medieval II Total War

System changes? You wouldn't be the only one to say 'the next day it stopped working, I changed nothing' for only after a few suggestions did they say ' OHH , I did this .. '.
Or perhaps overheating...

Sharing files is against the rules in these forums.
Perhaps reinstall the game?

Impossible :)
Probably just 1/100000 tiny thing wrong in your hardware/software config causing it to crash.

Perhaps you have a bad DVD-ROM drive.

Yes it does refer to the ability to run a second screen.

The CPU isn't top end and unless you have a Socket 775 motherboard you have a dead end in upgrading there. If you want MTW2 to run maxed...

Even with a slightly fragmented drive performance won't improve by simply running a defrag. If your drive was fragmented to the extreme red zone it would cause a problem, and I feel sorry for anyone...

Your DVD-ROM drive is most likely starting to fail. Easiest thing to do is shell out $25 for a new drive (you won't be getting take out for the next 2 weeks).

Disable campaign map shadows and AA.

Same prob...

I'm using LTC, however the mod uses the files I'd need to overwrite, and I don't want to lose half of the included darth mod and so on for longer smoke trails. It would be nice if it were possible...

FYI entering a wrong key wont effect the game at all, unless you go to play online. It has nothing to do with your problem, and right now your Windows setup is completely messed up, roll back just...

It's a DVD-ROM. You'll need a DVD-ROM drive.

I'm sure he meant DirectX9 (there have been dozens of changes to DX9 since it's release, despite the version not changing).
He just isn't ready for PC gaming because he doesn't understand how...

Update video card drivers

100.001% sure the problem lies in the Wireless router.
Perhaps a non-TW forum that specializes in routers such as http://www.dslreports.com/forums/all

Re-install game. Make sure anti-virus etc doesn't block the keys from being written.

I assume the drivers are up to date and you aren't using the ones found on the drive CD that came with it?

I've used Kaspersky, I never received any false warnings like you describe. The patch itself contains no viruses.
Do a full system scan (I scan /WINDOWS/ and /Documents and Settings/ manually to...

Patch 1.1 disables it. Simple as that.

Delete the file, start the game again, set your options, go back out and see if its still empty.

Hey guys I just spent $1500 on my CPU will it run fine with this other powerful graphics card I'm getting for free?
