HELP NEEDED-I cant see rtw folders!!

[emotion_name]

Hi, its bin awhile since i bin here, im hoping this is the right place to ask this!

Basically i cant find anything inside my data folder and all the other ones for RTW. I am patched up properly to 1.5, and i used to make my own maps etc before. Then i had a new hard drive fitted and lost all my data, so i re-installed and re-patched, again all correctly, yet when i enter the program files to edit some data, there is nothing there.

I have set hidden files and folders to show, there is still nothing!

Im pretty sure im following the correct destination:

Computer/C-Drive/User/App Data/Local/Virtual Store/Program Files/Creative Assembly

Im doing everything i used to do before, yet its not working and im running out of ideas.

Hopefully its something really simple im missing and someone here can point it out to me.

Thanks guys!

I don't think that's the right path , although yous hould normally be able to have pretty much every path .. but try this :

C:/Program Files/The Creative Assembly/Rome - Total War

or

C:/Program Files/Sega/Rome - Total War

Basicalyl , just reinstall and point it to on of these locations if they don't exist , just make 'em Or at least , don't put the installer to your App Data (Why did you do that ? ) , but to your main 'Program Files' directory ..

C:/Program Files/The Creative Assembly/Rome - Total War

or

C:/Program Files/Sega/Rome - Total War

The Sega/Rome/Creative Assembly folder isnt in there!!

Basicalyl , just reinstall and point it to on of these locations if they don't exist , just make 'em

How do i do this, im not to good at all this tech stuff!

Or at least , don't put the installer to your App Data (Why did you do that ? ) , but to your main 'Program Files' directory

Lol, i didnt know i had a choice where it went, i just installed it!

How do i save it to my 'program files' directory?


Thanks for the reply, hopefully if i can do this it will sort it out!


EDIT

ok, i thought because im an added user on the cpu, even though i have admin rights, to try the original users. I tried the destination you said, straight to program files, and there was the SEGA folder with all the folders and stuff in, like you said. I then logged into my user account, went straight into program files, and saw a folder called creative assembly, with all the folders i need in there!!

Dont know why it wasnt there earlier, maybe it was and i missed it!

Anyways, thanks for your help and for replying to my original post!!
