Dom II Won't Open Any More

[Joike1917]

I was playing Dom II and I had just ended my turn when the game crashed. Since then, it will not open any more. I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled several times. One time, the game reopened and then told me to get the 2.12 patch. When I got the patch, the game wouldn't reopen. Here's what happens when I click on the game icon, the screen jumps like it is switching to the 800x600 resolution, then it jumps to black then it jumps back to my operating screen in its normal 1024x768 setting. the game never opens now.

Any clues, any hints and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm holding up a couple of server games.
