won't load saved game

[pancakeman]

My trusty gold edition/warlords has a slight, but incredibly frustrating issue. Last weekend I started a game on a scenario. I saved it, and haven't played it since. Today I tried to load it, but the game sent me right back to the single player menu when I pressed the OK button. This doesn't happen to any of my other saved games, scenario or not.

Does anyone have a diagnosis? I'd really appreciate it someone could get back to me ASAP. I've been dying to finish this game all week (but too busy to do so).

Thanks
