I've done pretty much everything suggested(reinstalled, run as administrator, disabled UAC, updated drivers, set compatibility mode, downloaded 9.0c runtime library) and it still crashes.
It always crashes at the same place, too. In the sewers at the beginning, in the water with goblin archers in the scaffolding above. I know someone else who has it crash at the same spot each time.
Any topics I could have missed dealing with that particular issue?
