Problem with .27 update

[Belisareus]

Hello,

I have recently started playing Dominions again, after a hiatus of more than 18 months.

I downloaded and installed the latest patch (.27), and the game works fine when I initiate a game, and goes well for as long as I keep playing the first time.

However, if quit Dominions and restart the save, the moment I scroll await in the screen, everything disappears, except the map. I cannot open the pages (F1, F2 etc) either. IN other words, the game becomes unresponsive.

I have tried altering the video settings but still, nothing happens.

I have a 1920x1080 screen, an MSI Twin Frozr GTX580, and a mildly overclocked i5. 8 GB DDR3 Ram.

Has this problem been reported before? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks a lot in advance!
