The install fix can be taken from here.

Follow the instructions properly. Did you do anything like update drivers while the game crashed ?

To use the file, you have to copy some files from your CD to the HD and then extract some of the patch on top of the files now on your HD. Then run install from your HD.

It should install and now be playable. Good luck, and let us know how you doing !

what is happening exactly?

ie:  it loads, ea/ww logo, intro...then back to desktop?(no error seen)

or are you getting a crash message?

most problems can be solved by deleting 'emperor.dat' and reinstalling the game

did you change anything with your computer in any way before this started ?

I think he may have solved it, as I have seen him online.
