StateMachine.dll Won't let me play.

When trying to boot up SHIII with GWX 3.0, it fails to launch and I get this from Windows Vista's error window:

-------------------------------------------------
"C:\...\silenthunterIII\statemachine.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
-------------------------------------------------

If I remember correctly, the last time I played, my power went out while I was on. Can statemachine.dll become corrupted by something like a forced shutdown? If so, do I have any way of fixing it without reinstalling? I would really like to avoid all that.

I had just blasted the propellers off two 5000 tonners and the convoy has left them behind. I must finish them off!

I replaced statemachine.dll on my PC with the same file from my best mate's and it is working now. I'll edit this further if I notice anything out of order.

EDIT: I was deceived, I can get to the menu screens but as soon as any in-game stuff would happen, "Not So Long Ago...", it crashes.

#2: Fully uninstalled drivers and reinstalled them. No success. I guess I'll just have to reinstall SHIII itself. Damn it.

Well, while I torrent GWX again, does anyone know what files I need to keep if I want to save my crew/career?
