    Default help I am a little behind

    I played all of the older TW but just recently bought Medieval II. I have Vista and after installing the game attempted to play it the first few screens would just blink and once in the actual game the screen still blinks and random numbers and letters come up. Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    I'm using Vista, and it sucks... bad.. I seriously regret using it.

    my suggestion is that if you can't get XP on it, then try to get all the windows upgarde VIA internet.

    Get Ubuntu and try it with Wine. That's how I run it.

    Windows sucks. Especially Vista.

    Will, what are your computer specs? That might be the issue.

    It's called stick with what you know works. Since you know XP, you will know which problems are Emipre instead of fighting both. I hate two sided battles.

    ALL Total War games and Vista are a bad combination.

    Are we talking US, UK, Russia Japan, Australia, South Africa? Price depends who sells them for your location and language.

    You do realise half the people on the forum would be somewhere else in the world.
