Basically a lemon is a device that no matter what you do to it it will never work right.
They used to say you did not want a car made on a Monday or a Friday because they were more likely to be a lemon, ie you keep taking the car back to the dealer but it never does run correctly.

update: deinstalling (and thus not playing) EU2 *seems* to have solved the problem- no problem in over a week now... if it keeps working for another week I think I'll try the "copy EU2 from other PC" to determine whether it's the actual install or the playing that causes the problem.

I drive a little roadster now.
Mine is no alfa lemon though.
I really cannot see that, I used EU2 & ME combination for a long time without any trouble.
So you are saying that your system is running fine, then one day you boot your system and install EU2, you then reboot and your system will not boot and just gives you an error. And you never even ran the game.

Ah! that does explain a lot since I have a different publisher version from you as well, and the publisher write thier own installer programs.

I played loads of other games - Wheel of Time, Civilisation III, Empire Earth.. surely there's one with DirectX in there...
Anyway.. if it IS those DLL's - how come the problem doesn't surface the first time I try to reboot?
I can survive without playing EU2 on this PC, but, well, when it does work, its a breeze compared to EU2 on my other PC..
yet another update:
EU2 was NOT installed, unless it has some way to install itself at night, while the disk is in the box and the PC was shut down, yet the computer did it's "I don't wanna boot" routine.
Making it HIGHLY unlikely that EU2 causes the crash..
