Hi, i'm having problems starting DoW, whenever i click on the icon or the play option from the autorun menu, a run time error pops up. the exact message is:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime error!
Program: <directory path to where game is installed>

abnormal program termination


I've re-installed it to no avail, i've patched it to v1.2, got latest drivers for everything etc, tried rolling back my video drivers and it still doesn't work.
DoW has worked on this computer before a few months ago, I came back to play it and this happens spontaneously! so I have no idea what the cause is.
