    Medieval Total War is an old game, it shouldn't have any problems on most systems. However the part about the resolution may give us a clue to what is going wrong.

    Try setting your desktop resolution to something else, try one of these

    1024 x769
    or
    1280 x 1024

    It might your using a widescreen monitor and game engine doesn't like it. If you can post a screen grab (Print Screen button) of the error message, upload to imageshack or photobucket and post it here that would be very helpful

    Those aren't smilies. They're individual characters (underscore and lowercase o) enclosed in single quotes.

    You have to have some sort of title for the message box. It's not like this is probably going to come up often, so probably some dev just put in whatever first came to mind.

    I'm out of ideas sorry. Your only other bet is to ring Creative Assembly support and see if they know what is causing the problem.
