you're going to have to be a bit more specific about the problem... any error messages? if all else fails, you can just copy your saved games to a different directory, uninstall the game, reinstall it, and copy the saved games back. (don't froget your campaign and senarios if you have any custom ones)

go to "my computer". right click on tour cd-rom select open and copy the file you need to your desktop, or look up root directory file in search or in add remove programs delete it and reinstall.

Muk,

are you using the retail version of the disk or a copy? I know when I made a copy of my retail version, then tested the copy it would not load either. When I stuck the retail version in, it came up fine. The only conclusion I could come to was that it had some enhanced security that made it impossible to run from a copy.
