I had my game go FUBAR on me recently. I believe it was a corrupted save game file. I resolved it by restoring my system to a previously know good state. I don't rely on Windows restore points, since in the past when I really, really needed it to work for me, it didn't. Instead, I use Acronis True Image Home 2010, a disk imaging utility. I've been using Acronis products for the last 3-4 years and it has never failed me. New to the 2010 version is a timeline restoration option. The program checks your system for changes every five minutes and then saves them to a continuously updated system image. In my case, my notebook has two hard drives, so I use the second disk to store the live image.
On the day in question, I loaded up my game at about noon, after I had the computer running for about a couple of hours. I encountered the problem mentioned above so I restored the system to its state at about 10AM and the problem was solved. The only downside was that I lost the patrol events past that point, but that's much better than losing my game entirely.
As for your game, I am a bit stumped. It's rather difficult to remotely diagnose another system. Sorry I can't be of help. Sometimes all you need to do is delete the current career, as that gets rid of the corrupted save game file, but if the cause is not a save file that obviously won't fix it.
