battle map freezes everytime

[full_too_pale]

I have a clean install of Rome v1.5, all system requirments are met or exceeded, but everytime i play a battle in campaign mode, about five minutes in the game always freezes. There is still sound though. This all started when i decided to try out the game "Grand Ages: Rome". After playing the campaign for a bit, Grand Ages would freeze everytime about 5-10 mins in. So i uninstalled Grand Ages, reinstalled clean RTW 1.5 and Roma Surrectum, and now my battles are freezing!!!! Like i said, it happens about five minutes into a battle in campaign mode. This same thing happens in all other mods i have played too, since i tried out Grand Ages. Someone please help; i hate auto-resolving battles.

Try uninstalling the game and installing it back into a new folder, it may be re-installing itself into a dodgy folder.

It sounds like Grand Ages did something nasty to your PC. Make sure your Directx is up to date (9.0c for XP) and that everything is working as it should. Type 'dxdiag' at the run line in start menu (or dxdiags, I forget which) and look for any issues in the ensuing report it creates.
