Jedi Academy issue

Well, that's the thing that makes me wondering... I could play it all the time, before, for 2 years, without problems.. and then, when I got back from dinner a few days ago, it suddenly didn't work. I mean, what could be wrong then? It would seem to be a bit odd to me, as I did play with, either the original disk, or a crack. I also tested a full image of the disk, and it didn't work either.

It now enters the screen with a blue background (and the Jedi Academy giant letters/font). Then, a white little window of windows appears, saying it doesn't work anymore.

If I think carefully; what problem could create itself within a short amount of time?
