Have been reading some other boards and it seems it has happened to other people.
So what exactly is "Securom", and what do I do to make the game work?

Did you insert the disc? If so, try rebooting your computer or swapping the drive. (Putting the dvd in the other drive) Securom is kind of securitysystem for cd's and dvd's that prevents illegal copying. Unfortunately, like many anti-piracy systems, it does more harm than good.

You said you had a quick battle after the install. So the error only occurs in the crusades-campaign? A corrupt file perhaps?

Are you fully patched? There's usually a good chance that if it's a random bug then that'll help - see the www.totalwar.com website (that may not be the right address but it sounds reasonable).
Securom when I've seen it used to kick off and block things if you had DVD copying software such as Nero installed, do you have those or any 'naughty programs'? If so try uninstalling them and see if it makes a difference. Securom is basically a DRM thing to try and stop people pirating, it just might be a bit zealous. I don't remember it being used on totalwar, obviously it must be.
Also, the Scots aren't in the Crusades campaign are they?

Think I may have the wrong patch for my version, so uninstalling and then putting it back on.
