Problem Solved! I had simply installed it in the wrong directory(how stupid of me) but i found the right one and it is now working fine.Thank you for your assistance!

Firstly id like to thank you for replying. Yes the base game worked fine but marines wont and i didnt have to add DEP exceptions the first time i installed the game which was on the same laptop i am using now. The base game is the Paradox retail version purchased on ebay while the Marines module(disc version) was purchased seperately from Battlefront. I have Norton internet security but i turned it off and the game still wont start so i dont think that is causing the problem and i am sure it is installed in the right directory. However sometimes when i try to run the game the screen goes black as if it loading and the marines icon with the green light appears in the bottom left corner of the screen as it does in the game menu but the rest of the screen remains black. Does this mean the module did not install properly?

Early this year after seeing the HBO miniseries Generation Kill i developed an intrest in modern conflicts in the middle east. I then purchased CMSF and the marines module and found this to be one of the most realistic and challenging games i have ever played and many late nights were spent playing this. I loved commanding us marines through brutal urban combat or ambushing us convoys with the underequipped syrian insurgents. Unfortunately i had to remove some games to make room for Empire and Napoleon total war and as i had lost intrest in CMSF i decided to uninstall it thinking i could easily reinstall it anytime. However after reading the book Generation Kill i have slowly regained intrest in CMSF so i decided to give it another go. The installation went well and the base game of CMSF worked fine when i tested it but now that i installed the marines module the game no longer launches. I click on the desktop shortcut and the mouse cursor changes to the little blue loading ring but nothing happens and the cursor goes back to normal. I tried running it as administrator and the same thing happens and i have also tried running it from its folder in program files. I never had this problem before and after searching online i seem to be the only one with this problem. Any help or suggestions would be welcome and i would really like to play this game again. My computer is an ASUS g73jh notebook with Windows 7 64bit OS Intel core i7 q720 processor and 8gb RAM
