CTD problems

[RTMabry 0]

Installed Patch v07.10.06 and now I am having problems. The game launches, I get the UI screen and music, and then it minimizes to the task bar. I noticed that if I restart my computer the game will launch, but if I close it and try to launch it again, no joy. The game ran fine before. I don't know if the problem is because of the patch, Direct X or my updated video drivers. My install before the problems included:

 

SFP1_sp051506b.exe

SFP1_p052506.exe

 

Thirdwire website now only shows the 05.15.06 service update and the 07.10.06 patch.

 

I am having the same problem with WOV. So, I copied the problem installs to a different location and uninstalled both games and deleted the directories. Then I reintalled Project 1 from CD and updated it with the sp05.15.06 and then patch 07.10.06. The same problem exists. I am not getting any error messages displayed, however when I go into System Information/Software Environment/Windows Error Reporting I get

Do you have any security software running in the background when you try to launch your game?

Still having the same problem with both SP-1 and WOV. I thought it was the video drivers, but after changing out the drivers the problem remains. Tried disabling anti-virus software, but it had no effect on the problem.

I uninstalled the Nero DVD software, deleted the registry key and re-installed the software. However, this time I choose only to have it control DVD files instead of all files (i.e., wav, avi, etc.). I have been in and out of WOV several times and not once have I had it minimize to the taskbar. Maybe something in the NERO software was intercepting video from the game. I guess when I installed NERO and made it the default media player it was trying to intercept the game video.

There's a freeware program called 'Autoruns' that I use to monitor (and sometimes disable) background processes on my PC. You can download it from Majorgeeks.com if you're interested:
