Empire has encountered a problem...

[Whitlock]

I just updated Empire after the last patch, and its crashing at the startup. It always happens right after the first credit screen. I saw the "Crash at desktop" thread
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=334324

I couldn't find this folder on my computer. I am running windows XP and have ETW on steam. I've run empire without problems before and as soon as I installed the patch, this started.

I have:
Nvidia Geforce GTS 250
4Gb of Ram
2.62 Ghz processor

Any help would be awesome.

Delete any mods you have.
Delete the scripts folder in Documents and Settings. Unhide all hidden files and folders first. Use search and it will come to you.

I searched for "preferences.empire_script.txt" and the file was not found.
I also unhid all of my folders and there is no folder for the creative assembly. This version was downloaded straight from steam if that helps.

Any ideas?
