Crash to desktop

[warlock1111]

wonderful, i once again can no longer play =) EZ pad opens up fine, then the game starts up, resolution changes, screen goes black, resolution changes, screen stays black, final resolution change and game dumps to desktop, never loads up from there. error is repeatable in exact same fashion.

System:
Athlon 1900+
nvidia geforce 3 ti 500
soundblaster audigy platinum
512 mb ram
dx ver 8.2
windows xp

Can you re-install the game? It looks like one of your data files is corrupt.

that was happening to me after i tried intalling the patch and i kept killing it before it finished because i thought it was crashing. Just reinstall IC and then reinstall the patch and let it sit there till it closes (should be a few minutes) and that should fix it
