I can get to the main menu, but clicking on anything other than Multiplayer results in an immediate CTD. If I click on Multiplayer I can access the game setup screen and Impulse overlay (I like the in-game IRC access.  ), but as soon as it gets to the new game loading screen it crashes again. I just updated Windows and I'm using the nvidia drivers released two days ago.

I'm also still getting the glitch where you can't see sovereign portraits unless you turn off one of the graphics options, but I don't know if that's related to the crashing.
