    Default I can't play the grand campaign

    Hallo, i have buyed the collectors edition of the game this morning, i have installed it without problems, loaded the game, all was fine, however if i try to start a campaign (or the campaign tutorial) the game load the campaign and i can play it, but after la few seconds i get a ctd with the message "medieval 2 has find an unspecified error and it will be terminated".
    This happen everytime i try to start a campaign, and i don't know why, however it seems that i can play the custom battles without any problem.
    I have played the demo and the gold demo without any problems, i have sse2, my specs are:
    p4 3.0 ghz
    1 giga of ram
    nvidia 6600gt
    creative audigy 2 zs

    I'm a huge fan of the total war series, and i really want to play this game, please give me some help.

    All my drivers are up to date.
    This is the system log that i have finded in the mtw2 folder, i don't know how it function but it list a series of missing files and errors, could you check it?

    EDIT: it seems that i can't copy all the text of the system log, the forum give me an error, i copy only the first part, the system log file is very long and it list a huge series of missing, and in the end it give me the error message that caused the ctd. Someone can explain me how to upload the txt system log file, if you need it?

    Computer specs and what error do you get.

    Edit: Sorry, your whole post didnt show up. Anyways, you say you have the latest drivers, so you did install DX9 from the DVD and you have the 93.71 Nvidia drivers correct?

    Ok, so you have the 93.71 drivers and have you installed DX9 form the DVD? Also is the game resolution set in the game match your desktop resolution?

    The missing files apparently are not an issue but something to do with the file system MTW2 uses.

    I have a 6800GT and the game is fine. Try to turn off sound acceleration on your run->dxdiag settings.
