EB no longer working after computer shutdown

[HGCheesewiz]

Maybe, maybe some files were crushed as it flickered. Did you look in your saves directory? All files disappeared? Can you start EB, and it crushes at the beginning or after you started a new campaign?
If you can start EB, try to disable videos, maybe this can do the trick.

Thanks for the reply. Well, it's so odd. My saves file is completely empty. And I've now discovered that the game also crashes whenever I attempt to play a custom battle.

Not sure if this matters or not, but I am running on Vista. Perhaps there is some bizarre compatibility problem wherein if the game does not properly shut down there is file damage?

I suppose I'll just have to do a total reinstall.
