Crashing when attempting custom battle and before I attempt to start a campaign

[H3ATH3N3]

I had this game working just fine a few days ago, I was attempting to install a sub-mod, and royally destroyed something (after making a clean version for I already had a sub-mod which added more faction). For whatever reason I deleted my Third Age mod which was working fine along with the corrupt one. I originally could play the game just fine! I even had crashing, but luckily the forum has been very helpful and I just realized I needed to delete map.rmv... I've just attempted that same step and to no avail. So right now I'm extremely confused. Not even sure where to take my attempts, so I've given up and made an account here and get some expert help. Also, I can play my other mods (Broken Crescent etc... etc...) and I can of course play vanilla Kingdoms campaigns.

On a side note,

I'm running on Windows 7
I had v3.2 running fine and with the AOR 2.3 sub-mod
I am currently just trying to get v3.0 working over in my mod folder in Med2 Kingdoms (at patch 1.5)

Hello H... messy name

When do it crash?
When entering battles or when trying to start the game?

If the former it can be the computer clock settings, TATW can handle auto-adjustment to summer/winter time activated.

If the latter it could be a matter of the UAC, which can mess up installations.
Check the spoilerbox named "WINDOWS 7, 8, and VISTA Users CHECK THIS FIRST!!!"

Hello there! The name is Heathen3 technically... lol

Well, the game basically crashes before any form of loading screen can start at either enter by choosing a campaign to play a faction as, or when I go into custom battles and set up an army. The game will then crash after I click continue to get into the battle map or campaign map, and there isn't even a loading screen for either. Something about a "unspecified error"... I think the same error comes up when I had the issue with maps.rmv. Which I tried that one too just to see, but to no success. When I had the maps.rmv error I saw loading screens in custom battles, but couldn't play them. This error is just strange...

I'll look into the UAC, but I do have my day light savings time clock turned off...

Something isn't installed right. It's very important that you disable UAC as it will prevent proper installation. Disable UAC, uninstall everything and then reinstall everything.

Alright, so I have done the fallowing the last fellow told me to do. I understood the link he sent me besides the UAC part. I can't seem to find the right thing other than this odd bar that can be moved up and down to disable notification and protect my PC from harm... or something to that effect. It really only mention stuff such as notifications, not really disabling anything other than that. I can find this 'disable' UAC thingy-thing. Otherwise, I think I could get the installation to work swimmingly again. Also, for the record, when I had this previously installed on my same Windows 7 computer it worked fine without having to do anything other than deleting the maps.rmv. Yes, I know... you are dealing with a novice here, so bare with me.

Did you saw this link (as was in my link to ElvenKind's post)? http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...59#post8287059
Just checking, was how I figured my settings out.

Otherwise try to google it

Thank you for all the help guys! I must have done the UAC turn off correctly this time. Everything is now running swimmingly!
