Men of War: Assault Squad crashing

[geo686]

I have a downloaded non-steam version of the game (not GOTY).
No mods, no edits. Its pure.

I have Win7 64 bit OS, 16 GIG RAM.
Cannot load Carentan in skirmish.
Uninstalled, deleted all "mygames" files-reinstalled.
Tried patched to v13 and patch#14.
Set video to minimal settings (although I have GTX 560's in SLI so.....)
Nothing works.

Tarawa and Overlord ran fine though.

Help!!!
