    Try another cd from another game. If you get the same error, your drive died.

    In my computer, does the RTW or BI icon show up in what drive it's in? Can you click on it and have vanilla load that way?

    Then it's a bad dvd. Contact Sega for a new one. Or are you using a crack?

    I might take crack.....kidding. But its not a cracked disk. The wierd thing is its happened on 2 TWO disks for RTW, my orignial one and the new one....
    God does not want me to play RTW, just MTWII.LOL

    Have you tried to reinstall and play RTW without installing EB? If you can play original RTW/BI then maybe God don't want you to play EB. Just kidding. It sounds like a resource issue and with all the scripts EB uses I don't know past that.

    Does your PC have a CD-ROM drive and you've got a DVD-ROM with the game on it?

    Are you using vista?

    Anyway, the easiest thing to do is to keep a clean, unmodded version of RTW 1.5 (BI 1.6). Take copy of the folder and install the mod over that. If you keep taking copies of the clean folder and installing a mod that way you should never have to reinstall ever again.
