everytime i try to start up the game (single or multi) this same error pops up:

Create2DTexture( 3_cursor3, 64, 64, 0, 861165636 ) failed: 8876086c = Invalid call

ive tried to fix this for three days now with no luck, please help me!
(already updated all drivers, tried re downloading and installing game, got all patches up to 1.5, also tried changing the "miles" file thing, just for kicks)
