Sorry for the late reply I have been on Vacation.

Why would you think it is not the Bink player, what leads you to belive that?
Since it is the Number 1 culprit by far.

I am more concered though that you are getting access violations while accessing your harddrive.

Please do try all of the following if possible.
Also run scan disk to see if you are having HD problems.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
 
Never having see the readme I don't know what it tells you but I assure you the Bink player can cause an imediate CTD.

If the scan disk does not report any errors then:

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.
 
Well your display driver is a little out of date.

What publisher version do you have, their logo will be on the CD?

Also can you cut and paste the readme file here please anything to do with tech support like the part you said talked about the bink player.
 
Did you try the updated driver?
