Loading Screen Problems

My game, up until I try to load a saved game or even start a new one, starts up fine. Makes it to the main option screen to pick a town and such. I select an option, or a previous game, and start the loading process. And wait. And wait. And wait. Only to have it never load. The total time I've waited is an hour and 4 minutes. And still nothing.


I've have tried most things that were suggested to other people.

I'm running out of options here. I was playing the game perfectly the other day, and then I saved and exited. No problems closing, it did its thing fine. So later, I went to start the game and this problem arose. I haven't been able to play it since. Can't even start a new game.  No updates on my computer to conflict, nothing newly installed. I just don't get it and nothing I try is fixing this.



Note: This interactive screen has nothing to do with my problem because it does it to both screen types.
