I finally went into the registry and had to manually delete entries to the game that had been left behind despite the kosher uninstall. Once I did that the game re-installed properly. For those who know Vista, is it possible that something similar is going on that is causing the re-installed OOTP to crash; i.e. the uninstall is leaving something behind in the registry? Just a guess; sorry if I'm way off-base.

That makes sense. Obviously there's no easy way of telling.
