Rome Total War (various expansion packs) and Windows 7 (64-bit)
I'm a "bit of a pickle" as Windows 7 (64-bit) and Rome Total War, and if it should run OK.
The game worked fine on my old XP machine but seems hit and Miss on W7 (64), esp, some of the expansion packs.
I have the old RTW Activision and who installs OK and usually starts and runs OK. However, from time to time it will crash. I can play for hours sometimes and its OK, others only for a few minutes. So I tried the RTW patches to get the game to load 1.3. This is the first weird problem, the patch seems to only load in "Program files" and not "program files (x 86)" but the game loaded in both. Q1 - the patch should load in both?
Q2 what version should I try to run RTW?, one in program files, or the one in program files (x 86)?
Q3 who, if all the expansion packs should run? I have RTW - Barbarian Invasion (Sega) and RTW - Alexander (Sega/White Label). Barbarian Invasion appears to load but does not work (the first of all he missed mss32.dll, that I found and copied, but then) he said that he could not start Audio 3d. Alexander says that he cannot see the RomeTW.exe (1.5 or 1.6) she needs to find prior to installation. I tried to install the 1.5 patch, but he always says the same thing even if the patch supposed to install OK. Is this related to the query of the 1.3 patch above I wonder?
The versions of the patches I have are old, obtained for the XP machine. Y at - it versions of specific patch of W7 (64) should I use?
I looked at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=rome&os=64-bit, but this isn't much help (unless Ive missed something) as I cannot see RTW (Activision) at all and it seems to suggest RTW Alexander (Sega) should be OK (but no mention of the white label verson)
Sorry if this all sounds a bit long and twisted, but I would get at least some of the games properly functioning and stable and for the moment, I can't.
If not, is there a guide known on the www somewhere to explain how to install on W7 (64) and whose patches to load and when?
Thank you
EDIT - is something I just noticed, if I put the CD back to work in the W7 machine (64) and launch the game from the context menu, it also fails to start with "cannot initialize 3D audio" (or purpose). I was running the game from a shortcut that was created in the W7 boot menu, which goes from the version of files (x 86) program. And this shortcut, it starts and plays but sometimes crashes.
Hey I know this is an old question but I just had the same problem. the problem is he's leaving moved in the x 86 folder programs and some of the patches there too. If all you have to do is to copy and merge all this program (86) in the folder program files (64-bit).
Play now :) fun

Two ways are participatory computers in a windows environment, a working group and a _. You can fill in the blank?
Virtual private networks have little to do with the domains or working groups.
I don't think that WIndows 98 can join to a domain. All versions of WIndows, you mention should be able to participate in a working group, however.
In my opinion, the best way to share a printer is to use a printer connected to the network
