Reinstalled and it didn't work, so i guess this is the last straw. Unless someone has other ideas.

I'll keep thinking on it and see if I come up with anything... but at the least the 1.2 patch is due out tomorrow, so you can have him download and install that, it may fix the problem.

It's also possible he hit the elephant unit bug - someone else on the thread was reporting that it's possible to make your game entirely unplayable if you hit the elephant bug. It wasn't always making it unplayable forever, but sometimes gave that result. It must corrupt something vital in the registry is the theory. The workaround was to create a new user account, and begin running the game from there. Apparently each time it happens you can make a new account and continue playing with that one until it happens again. So that'd be the other great suggestion of the moment, to have him create a new user just to play the game with (don't bother personalizing it since you only need it to run the game) and see if that sets things right for the moment.
