What is it doing, exactly?
Any error messages, debug screen funny looking GFX.

If it just shows the load icon for a few moments and does nothing, I get that problem with games on my RADEON 7500. They just seem to stop loading, only thing I have found that fixes this is a complete format and reinstall.

Not saying you sohuld do that, what I recommend is a Scandisk and defrag to repair any fragmentation on your drive.

My problem is with the latest ATI Drivers, I think so you might want to look into your Drivers as well.

*EDIT*
You may also want to try patching your SC Install, here is the latest patch.

If you're playing off the original release, you need to have Disc 1 in the CD drive. Patch v1.05 solved this anomoly (no disc to play requirement).
