I have this really weird error. I install the game and patch it and first time I load it, it runs great. I finish playing and exit the game, but next time I go to start it up I get an error as per this screenshot:

This happens no matter which version its patched to and it's really doing my head in... any ideas whats causing it? :confused:

I've seen it a few times, a work around seems to be ejecting the CD and then putting it back in again before running the game again.

You're a genius, it works! I'll live with ejecting the CD and putting it back in again, thanks a lot man it was driving me nuts.

No worries, weird problem eh?

Yeah very odd, when I play a game a lot it usually stays in one of my drives 24/7, so taking it out and putting it in was probably the last thing that would have sprung to my mind. Have a good weekend mate.

I have got Daremon Toold but my copy of Rome is fully legit. I can imagine the conflict occurring though.

I work for a major AV company and we have just about bagged The Creative Assembly as a client... they are just down the road and my boss went to give thema demo of our product and got some free games. How cool is that.
