Ever had this happen to you?... (I Hope Not)

[Nightowl]

There I am , just ready to Head back to Homeport to end my 11th Patrol when I have a real electrical Storm here at the house and... you guessed it, --the Power went out... So when it came back on, I rebooted my computer, and what the heck, shouldn't be a problem , luckily I had just saved my game a minute before the power outage, but when I reloaded the game, all I can get is a 'Game Paused' and I cannot get beyond that, no matter if it's a career or a single game, whether it's a saved game or starting a new one from scratch... Is there any hope for me to get by this without re-installing the game?? -Nightowl
