EU:Rome doesn't start

[unmerged(139746)]

I can play the first time I launch the game, but after I saved my game and quit.
after that later I tried to start my game, but it keeps telling me that problem stopped my program working....

and it doesn't say where the problem is

Please run DXDIAG, Save All Info, and post dxdiag.txt here (first delete everything after the Sound Devices section so it will fit). Also post your Rome/settings.txt and Rome/logs/system.log files. Note that if you use Vista and have installed the game in the suggested folder c:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Rome\, the active versions of these last two files will have been redirected by Vista to a non-system directory, like c:\users\[name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Rome\. You may have to search your C: drive for them.
