So i have been playing on my copy of entrenchment for little over a month now, and it has been working absolutley flawlessly.   Yet the past couple of days, i have been unable to play due to the game crashing right when it loads.  

I click on the icon and the screen goes black.   It will not allow me to alt-tab out or use the task manager to close the program.   I have to reboot my computer every time. 

At first i thought that un-installing it and re-installing it would solve the problem, yet it still does it after the installation.   I have read other posts saying that the cause could be because of a mod trying to load on startup, but i never used any mods(and i dont have the load mods on startup box checked).  I read somewhere that deleting the mods folder could solve the problem, yet this has yet to work for me. 

I find it also interesting that Sins itself runs fine, and that it is just entrenchment that has this issue.

So does anyone have any thought as to what my problem may be?  Because its starting to drive me crazy.
