Hi Naive Gamer,
if you got RaR Release 2.4 by following the link from here everything should be fine.
(You probably did, because the link there points to our only official download.)
Of course only, if the download was not broken.
(But your tool for unpacking should have told you that. So I guess it was ok.)
Since you already played TAC you should also have official patch 1.1f for Civ4:Col.
(TAC wouldn't work either without that patch. It is required by all modern mods. It is available here)
You probably also did not mess up with the installation path.
Maybe still check again that you don't have something like this:
C:\games\Colonization\Mods\Religion_and_Revolution\Religion_and_Revolution\
Something like this is totally fine of course:
C:\games\Colonization\Mods\Religion_and_Revolution\
Generally it is known, that RaR requires much more time to start than TAC or other smaller mods.
(RaR is 4times as big as TAC and contains much more graphics. I had heard reports of almost 2 minutes in extreme cases on very old machines.)
So waiting a while until RaR is loaded is nothing unusal on old machines.
--------
Sorry, but I have no idea why RaR Release 2.4 should start for everybody else but crash on your machine.
(Also never heard about any problems related to a specific operational system.)
Could you try to redownload and install again ?
(Otherwise, don't worry if loading takes a while if your machine is older. Once loaded the mod should run quite performant.)
