i tried everything but the registry wipe and somehow got it to work last nite, this morning it didn't work again so i looked for anything different and discovered that if i had windows media player running the game got stuck by scenario data. but if i reset the computer and started the game it worked. also if i then minimized and started media player i didn't have any problem

If you right click on a Shortcut and select Properties, you will see that there is a Start In field. That has to be set to the game's home directory. If that bit of information gets lots when you move the shortcut to the widget, the game won't run. I suspect that's what's happening.
