Sorry for the slow reply, I'd missed this when you first posted.
Are you able to start the game at all?
If so, the way to work around this is to use a different data path.
To do so, open "Game settings" -> "Experts" tab and select another data path for OOTP like for example c:\ootp20
Then restart OOTP and it should work.
If the game doesn't open at all though, then you'll want to uninstall again and reinstall. This time, install the game to a simple basic folder, like the one mentioned above c:\ootp20
Does it work now? If not, let us know.
