Zoo Tycoon Help Needed! What did I do?

[jcemom]

I downloaded some new items for Zoo Tycoon tonight and now I can't play! I get to the loading screen, the loading bar fills about halfway, and then the game shuts down and takes me back to my desktop!

What did I do wrong? Help! UGH!

I've had similar problems when I've downloaded stuff for the Sims. You may just have to delete the game and reload it. Sorry if that's the only way and you end up losing some stuff.

Thanks...
I suspect that may be the only solution, but I'll wait a bit and see if any other ideas come up. Luckily, the couple of zoos I had saved wouldn't be a great loss. They were the first ones I made and I'm tired of them anyway. The only thing I would feel badly about are a few really cool downloads I had that I don't remember where I found.

see if the patches came with an uninstall utility or if they added an uninstall on the add/remove programs menu

if not just copy your saved games folder, and just reinstall the game, microsoft may have also added a repair feature just put your cd in and go to the cd-rom drive and run the install utility again and see if it gives you the repair option
