    Default EB on vista???

    How do I get this to work? I'm using the administrator account and disabled the UAC, the game is a clean installation patched to 1.3 then 1.5 in the document folder, but every time I want to start a campaign the game crash with a protection error. I'm dying here so please help me, as I would love to play this mod.

    seems you might have a corrupt install, did you run the validate install.

    are you sure you are correctly patched to 1.5, try starting a campaign with RTW, if it doesnt load as well, you will need to reistall...

    ok, I found out about this in a thread with the same problem but in EB 1.1, go to EB/DATA/WORLD/MAPS/BASE and delete MAP.RWM, then dowload it from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BNKR8XHZ and unpack it in the previous folder...

    I assure you, it's available, I've downloaded it a minute ago just to check if it works. You must enter the code and click on 'download the file' (or something like that, I have Polish version of the site), then you have to wait 45 seconds until 'normal download' became available, then you have to click it, and save the file on your hd.

    can you explain what is happening exactly, does it show that the connection is timed out?
    or do you get a pop-up, a yellow bar beneath your search engine?

    also try running a campaign after you delete the MAP.RWM...

    I think I know what the problem is, you need to capitalize the letters of the code for it to redirect you to the download...

    it seems that the problem is with your pc rather than the game itself...PM me your email, and if possible i' ll try to send you the file, another thing you should try is to uninstall Nero if you have it. however if all this fails uninstall the game, download EB 1.1 and 1.2 using torrent, then reinstall and check every step, patch to 1.5 check if campaign starts normal , same with 1.1 and 1.2, also check out the thread EB installation validation, and try the tips there, most you know, but try them anyway.....

    Finally...I have written down what the protection error say so here you go...

    Debugger detected - please close it down and restart!

    Windows NT users: Please note that having the WinIce/SoftIce service installed means that you are running a debugger!

    What the does that mean?
