Game Crashing, Windows 7.

Hi, I purchased GCII a long time ago and recently have re downloaded it on my new computer windows 7 64 bit OS and it doesn't run. Once I get try to start a new game and it starts to load it freezes and says GCII has stopped working. I was wondering if there was any possible patch fix for this? My GameStop APP nor the Stardock have found any updates for it, but I see people talking on the forums and such about patch 2.04 that I cannot find. My GameStop APP where I bought and downloaded it says my last upgrade was 4-22-2009. Thank you for your time.
