Tell me why..

Whats the problem here? IM having a situation with a video game I like to play, ive had this problem with a different game before.

The first ame was MEdal of Honor : AA.
The game would always crash in the middle of play. I tried updating it, reinstalling it, everything, and no fix. Eventually i reformmated HD and reinstalled OS and problem solved.

Now Ive got another game, Europe Universalis, that used to play fine but now crashes everytime i start it up. Reinstalling it doesnt work, updating it doesnt work, but I dont want to reformat and reinstall my OS, ive got too much Apps and stuff on it.

Well off the bat I am thinking update device drivers for your graphics card etc, and even go to the game writers websites and download patches and fixes... it has definately fixed problems for me in the past! but be careful of dodgy patches try to find genuine company downloads.
Good Luck

Sorry, my bad.
I am wondering what back ground processes might be running which may be interrupting the application mid stream... is there anything you can think of that you may have installed which might be running. Check in task manager... see what apps you can shut down safely and try again.. Just a suggestion.
