Medieval II encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

[Cactus_Master]

I've tried running the game as an admin, playing from the disk, my desktop shortcut. I've hit the "continue campaign" button, and loaded the game from the load menu. But I always receive the error "Medieval II encountered an unspecified error and will now exit." When I attempt to start my campaign. Its a Russia campaign. The system.log file shows the following:

It is all standard messages. No errors in it.

Can you start a new campaign? If so, your savegame is corrupted.
