Launching the game

[Captain Seafarer CO.]

I solved the problem by undoing a Spybot fix.

Spybot detected the following:

Win32.agent.msv

Deleting it as suggested messed my launcher. I went back to Spybot and undid the deletion of that problem and now can launch the game just fine.

I need to look into it some more because obviously I got something in my 'puter but just in case any of you encounter this problem, this is what worked for me.
