TA crashes when starting new game

TA keeps crashing on me on my laptop. I can start, and see the menu just fine, but once I attempt to begin a new game it'll show the loading screen, then blank out, and then inform me that it has closed due to an error. Help? It only started this afternoon, was working fine before that.

Below is the contents of the .err file from the latest crash.
