    Sounds like a faulty download/install. Redownload version 1.5 and install it from scratch.

    AD, I am having the same problem. And I have tried everything. I have installed. I have uninstalled. I have installed again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled M2TW completely multiple times, including manually cleaning the registry and looking for any related hidden files that might be corrupting the install. So I really don't know what else to do. I love this mod. I can play custom battles, which is okay, but I hate missing out on the campaign, especially with the tweaks you've put in for 1.5.

    Your Kingdoms is patched to 1.5 yes?

    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."

    What exactly are you installing? which version of M2, which patches?

    All you should really install is M2TW, patch 1.1 and patch 1.2. Then install FKoC.

    I´m running on Vista and also can´t get the mod to work (it crashes after the opening title page)
    So I´m trying to do the above but the .cfg file won´t open and I´m sent off onto the internet to download a programme that opens .cfg files - at a cost. Is that normal or is my download ed?

    Use notepad to open the .cfg file.
    FORCE IT THROUGH - it's the right way!

    I had the same problem as you, Britabroad, and this fix solved it with me!

    Also, you may have a problem on vista : you won't be able to modify it. In case,copy the file on the deskopt, modify it, then replace the old.

    I have Xp but I have the same problem: when I try to begin a Campaign I come back to Desktop. I've also noticed that in the ui the strategy.sd and shared.sd are missing, can anyone try to post them, so I can try to place them and see if that's the problem?

    So you have to delete all the text and just replace it with:

    [features]
    mod = for_king_or_country
    [video]
    widescreen=0
    movies = false
    [game]
    allusers=1


    I am afraid the instructions arent entirely clear on this

    no not really, my copy worked fine on Vista regardless of anything posted here, maybe its luck? [bit like archive invalidation and Fallout 3]

    but I think the main thing is User Account Control
