Its the basic 'Fatal Application Exit' Error. Unable to open the user data folder. Basically, I can't get past the initial screen with the options for 'purchase, trial etc...' I can't get into the game at all.

I have searched and found all the answers - I have tried all the solutions but I am coming up empty. I am not sure what else to do at this point other than ask for help here.

The initial install was sharing the SI folder with OOTP2006. I thought maybe there was a conflict there so I moved it on its own. Currently, it is sitting on my C:/
Yes, I have the patch installed as well.

Anyhow, here are my details:

Game Version is showing as 2.0.0.0 even though I have installed the patch (The patch says 2 files updated when applied)

Windows XP 2002, Service Pack 2
My hard drive has 9.22 GB of available space

My C: is not networked.

I have honestly searched and found 17 threads of basically the same issue. I have tried all of the things that worked for others, but they are not working for me. I am on the trial version still, as I figured I'd just go about the same as 2006 - Wait for the expiry to come up and then purchase it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
