Empire Earth Error

[darken]

i got Empire Earth today and after i installed it and tried to run it it said Empire Earth.ex.exe generated errors and would be closed by windows. i know that is not a proper file extension but when i went to go fix it every thing was normal. does any one know what could be wrong?

have you installed from your original CD? I had problem with the backup CD, could isntall it fine but no run it, it would crash becuase some files didn't copy sucessfully.. :/

yeah, i went out and bought it yesterday, so i figured since its legal it shoulda worked
