Crash after install

[unmerged(154008)]

Folks,

My computer has no problem running Rome:Total War so I believe that the hardware should not be the problem. Also, I have the latest version of patch (1.3).

Please help!

Check with Dell for a newer video driver, yours is over 3 years old. And please post your Rome settings.txt and system.log files.

Also, you have another thread saying you can't move your troops, yet according to this thread you can't even start the game. Can you clarify please?
