Windows 7: Having Issues With LOTR Battle For Middle Earth 2

I have a copy of LOTR BFME2 and installed it on my computer. After installing it, I tried to run it, but it just stopped responding. So i thought my computer might need a break, and i turned it off. About 2 hours later, I went back on and tried to run it again and it didn't work still. So I searched on Google why it wasn't working and ended up in this forum.... I followed the instructions, and in the middle of loading, it just says i have the wrong CD inserted although it is the correct one. Please help me!!!!

This is a known problem for users with high resolutions.

The game dislikes it apparently so you'll have to do some tweaking as follows:-

1.) Add an Options.ini file in the C:\Users\[your login name]\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files folder

(Right click in that folder, New, Text Document, save as..., Options.ini)


2.) Put the following content in that newly created file:

Hope that helps!

I cant seem to find the folder...

If you can't find the folder, you'll have to make it manually.

Create a new folder called My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files at the
C:\Users\[your login name]\AppData\Roaming\ location.

For example if your username is Tom, the path would be:-

C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Roaming\

and in that Roaming folder, create the folder called

My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) Files

Also make sure you have enabled the Show hidden files, folders and drives in the Folder Options box (start|Folder Options|enter|Change top tab to "View"):-

I can find the folder up to the part of Appdata, but then inside of it it has a Local folder then a Temp folder

Please post a screenshot of that window using the following tutorials please.. I'm curious. You can blur out other details if you wish.

Are you sure you have enabled hidden folders and files?

Ok. Here is a screenshot:

As an example here's a screenshot from my own Appdata folder:-

Okay, so head into the Appdata folder, what do you see?

You should have Local, LocalLow and Roaming folders on a normal Windows 7 installation with some programs in it.

for future reference guys you can access the appdata folder even with hidden files on if you just go to the search box type '%appdata%' minus the marks obviously
and hitting enter.
It will automatically open up the location.
