Ok, so I uninstalled GR/DS/IT completely and reinstalled all three and the game seems to play w/ no crashes. I then added the latast GR patch and still no problems. As soon as I add and activate a mod, the game crashes to desktop after a few minutes of gameplay.
I seem to remember reading about problems with the XP upgrade form win2000 being a problem. I had my OS installed at the local computer store, so is there any way of telling if mine is an upgrade, and if so, what can I do to fix the problem?
