All games cause the loading splash screen to show up with the inital 1-5% red progress bar. I can't get past this - music continues, but the only thing I can do is CTRL-ALT-DELETE to kill the game. This occurs in single player new game, single player load game, multiplayer, Ironclad 'join' and Ironclad 'host'.

Nothing on my computer has changed (at least as far as I remember). I'm up to date on SINS patches (1.11). I was able to play the game (all catagories), both in the 1.09 beta and in 1.11. This problem just started when I went to run the game yesterday.

I dont appear to be getting any logs - is there some sort of debug mode that I can enable to help troubleshoot this problem?
