				 Re: Disappearing Gui. 
 It can be a corrupted CD-Key, try deleting the file where the game stores de cd-key (forgot the filename)and when you enter the game again it will ask for you cd-key, inform it and see if the problem reappers.
 What you are relating sounds like the cd-key protection from the game acting up...
