Launch problem

Every time I try to launch the game all i get is a black screen and an error "The program CivilizationV.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close" anyone know how to fix it?

When I had this problem I uninstalled and reinstalled the VC++ 2008 runtime to get past this error. Of course, that still hasn't solved some of my other problems...

Doing this didn't help for me. Using Crossover 9.2.1.

The screen just goes black. I read somewhere that sometimes it might take a few minutes to load up... I've left my computer and then later come back and its still black.
