Well, here's the conclusion. I am now playing the second mission! I am surprised to see that the problem was one of the issues I had originally suspected but not convinced that it could be an actual problem. It had to do with the saved mission that I kept playing from. Here's what I did: I did not install any new drivers or mess with any configurations. I kept everything the same. I got ahold of another version of GR. I imported the saved game into that version and got the same CTD at the start of mission two. I finally decided simply to play the whole first mission over and make sur

Duh! I'm such an idiot. I totally missed that. Yes, he asked about MSI earlier and I didn't even make the connection. There it was plain to see on the cd! Well, at least that explains it. I am heading off to go read that thread now. Thanks guys.

Here is the cd. GR cd face It's all I got. It's definitely a bundled ver. as you can read on the cd. I did not receive a box. Is that where you are refering to when you say that on the label it indicates what the bundled ver. is bundled with? I am still waiting to hear back from the ebay member. Most likely tommorrow. I'll keep you informed. Thanks again.

Well I bought the cd for $5 off of ebay so I don't know what it was bundled with. I will try to contact the ebay seller and find out. I know it's definitely not a bootleg because of the factory type image printing on the cd face. You can tell it's an original. O.k., well I'm off to contact the seller. I'll follow up later. Thanks again.

Thank you kindly for your time and detailed reply! Looks like I have some work cut out for me. By you asking that question, I just noticed that the new cd I got states 'bundle version not for resale.' Makes me wonder because when GR was first released I had a working version on this same PC. Same mobo and graphics card (without the updated drivers, so yes that may be the problem) and OS (using DX8). But if the bundle ver. is not the problem then I'm sure it's one of the other things you listed. Also, I can't find the options.xml. I did a search in the entire folder for it and noth

I've spent a good week on this mess. I really need some help. Below is my system info from dxdiag, the ike.log and ike crash.log (not sure if i'm supposed to post this now, anyway). Here are some notes: I have a legit copy of GR 1.0.0.2. Crash to desktop at that ver. I patched up to 1.4, still CTD at 2nd mission. I can play the first mission fine. Right after I select my team for the 2nd mission and try to begin the mission I get CTD. I have done a clean install of XP and reinstalled GR. Still CTD. I am not running any mods. I have the updated drivers for my graphics card and sou
