Ok... so BEFORE the patch... SPORE worked fine... BUT after I patched it, It wouldn't start at all.
Now, I recovered some files (thank god for Backup drives) and now I can play. But only Core SPORE, and I can start up GA,(---PROBLEM HERE---) but Whenever the sporepedia loads a Captain... It crashes.

NOTES:
-Core spore works perfectly
-I do not want to reinstall only to re-download
all of my captains/creations
-I'm not going to delete my system.reg every time i quit the game...

UPDATE: Whenever I load ANY GA material, the game crashes:

Exception Raised
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x00ef45ff.
Do you wish to debug it ?
