I was having the same problem and came across the solution at lucasarts' forums. Your problem is not the cracks, it is the game. For some reason the logo movies that play at the beginning are not playing correctly. Here is the fix:
(copied and pasted from a german site)
After Double-Clicking on the Star Wars Republic Commando-Icon and clicking on "Start Game" the game crashes and the desktop comes up.
It seems the videos from nvidia and lucasarts were the problems. So you should do following things:
1. Go to Directory "installDir/GameData/movies/"
2. Copy the files "LECIntro.avi" and "NVIDIAIntro.avi" to another Backup-Directory
3. Delete the both files from the directory "installDir/GameData/movies/"
4. Try to start the game
5. Perhaps this will be fix the problems at startup
