Can you post the couple of logs before this.  This one just shows that the user files are corrupt.  We need the ones that show the crash, or maybe there aren't any.  :)

ok they just show that they werent corrupt from the beginning but here they are anyway. ===============================================

This would mean that the error is not so much Uplink as it is something on you system.  This generally happens when the graphics libraries on a system are old.  I would try getting the latest drivers for both graphics and sound and see what happens.  :)
