I have the retail version of Sins, and it's been installed since I got it, and it was updated to 1.05 and everything ran perfectly. Today I decided to update the game, and realised that I hade to install Impulse, so I do that and update Sins through that which causes no problems. Everything seems fine until I try to load the game.

It only opens a small window in the upper left corner and nothing happens. Game won't load and says something about a minidump. So I uninstall the game, Impulse and delete the Stardock folder in my program files, then restart my pc. I re install Sins from the disk and it won't work. I get the same problem. So I install the 1.05 patch that I had downloaded, and again, same problem. I've tried it another time to no avail and am wondering if anyone knows what happened?

I have a q6600 with 4 gigs of ram and a 9870. It worked fine before this. Please help.

Edit: I also updated all my drivers and that didn't help either.
