Hi there, I'd appreciate some advice on getting RTR PE running on my laptop.
First of all, i've followed the advice given on the website and forum:

1) Full install of my vanilla RTW v1.0
2) Installed patch v1.3 and loaded it up to make sure it worked
3) Installed patch v1.5 and also made sure that worked.
4) Installed RTR PE v1.9 full install
5) Clicked on the Rome icon, it loads to the first Creative Assembly screen, then I hear an error ding. This turns out to an error message titled "Protection Error". It mentions something about debugging tools detected and so on.
Happens all the time, cannot load up RTR PE at all!
I'm using an Alienware Laptop and Windows Vista.

Please help! I would really like to go back to this game and finish it!

Thanking you in advance
