CivCity Rome Appcrash

[Jaskra]

I recently downloaded CivCity rome from Direct2Drive. The game is patched and should be compatible with Vista 64 bit. When I attempt to run the game it stops working.

I have attempted to use compatibility mode without the patch, but I get the same results. Any help would be great.
