EB crashes as soon as I press "start battle" or when loading a custom battle

[Docus]

Hello everyone,

My OS is Windows 7 Home edition. My computer is an intel core i5 CPU 2.67 Ghz quadcore. I installed RTW and BI (Gold Edition) as a clean install. I then installed EB 1.1, 1.2 and the "EB for BI" mod. I should add that even "vanialla" EB 1.2 has the exact same issue for me.

The game loads fine up until the menu screen and even on the campaign map, but as soon as I click on "start battle", or when I load a custom battle, the load bar never appears and then I get a CTD.

Is this a known bug and is there anything I can do about it? Thank you so much for any help you can give me!

I've been a long time player and I'm saddened I can't play my beloved EuBa anymore.
