When I attempt to start up SoaSE: Entrenchment the window pops up, presents a black screen, and immediately gives a minidump message. Several second later, the program crashes and the "do you want to send a report to microsoft" dialog appears. Entrenchment worked without a hitch before, but has not behaved properly since I installed the 1.03 patch. Regular SoaSE exhibits the same behaviour (also fully patched, and previously worked).

I uninstalled both and then reinstalled both via impulse, which let me boot up Entrenchment ONCE before the same behaviour resumed. No mods are installed. My graphics drivers are up to date.

My laptop specs:

Windows XP Professional SP2, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz, Geforce Go 7900 GS, 2GB RAM

I searched on the forums and found that a few people had the same issue as me, but I saw no resolution on any of those threads. Any ideas?
