Star Wars Empire At War suddenly crashing at startup (Details inside)
Long story short, my empire at war game just suddenly stopped working. I click "start game", the .exe file starts up, and then just crashes. No error or anything. I will say this though - it doesn't seem to even try to read the disc anymore like it used to. What I mean by that is when I'd hit start game, my cursor would turn into a little spinning disc and you could hear the actual disc starting to spin and stuff. I've reinstalled the game and it worked at first startup...However, thinking it was all good and working, I installed the latest patch, and suddenly it wouldn't work anymore (please note that before, I had that patch and it was working fine. Just one day it stopped working).
See my attached image for more details.
I would really appreciate some help. I hate how one of my favorite games just suddenly pooped out on me.
