Why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been playing crossfire for over 3 months, so last week I've been trying to install it.

it's working and all, now since there's a new patch, i can't start the game.
half of the startup window is missing, including the Game start button. i tried installing the old window, before the patch,

sadly it worked, made a patch, said it failed and aborted
please help me!!!
