Crash problems and ~e5.0001

[Shamus]

Evertime I start up Rome, a file and folder both named ~e5.0001 appear in my Documents/Settings temp folder. I went on-line and found that other people said that the program it is linked to can cause game stability problems. For the last few months I have been having problems with Rome CTD on a fairly regular basis. I was wondering if anyone knows what program the file is associated with, and how I might stop it from starting every time Rome loads.

It is not a dangerous file. It is a file used with games as a copy protection method, it will only slow down your PC if it is a copied game or running a "No CD cracked version" or similar. However it may have a minor effect on older systems.

The version I have of Rome is authentic, I bought from a store the first day it was available. How old a system do you mean? My computer is about 3 years old. It's a Pentium 4, 1.8 Ghz, 512 Mb, with a Radeon 8500.
