DV Fatal Error

[Corporatejive]

I have a technical problem with DV that causes the game to crash immediately after clicking start new game.

Game Version & Patch (incl. publisher): CK: DV latest release from gamers gate patched over the latest version of CK from gamersgate

OS & build/SP: WinXP Professional SP2

Computer, CPU & speed: ASUSTek W2J 2.16 ghz centrino duo

RAM: 1024 mb

Free HDD space: 23.7gb

Video (brand, model, driver, memory): ATi Mobility Radeon X1600 256mb

Sound (brand, model, driver): Realtek onboard HD audio

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

History:
I uninstalled and deleted CK from my system and GG installer. I then redownloaded CK and installed it, then installed DV directly over it (both from gamersgate). I applied the regfix for CK 1.05

When I attempt to start a single player game and click start, the screen goes black, I hear the windows error message sound, and the music file continues to play until the end of the track (doesn't loop).

I then have to hit the window key in order to see my desktop. I receive the following error message:

*** Unhandled Exception detected!
Address: 0x02630EE8

Please report! (more information in log file)

Just a guess here, but the way you described it, you installed CK then DV then the 1.05 patch?

I'd suggest CK then 1.05 then DV, that might fix the problem? If I've misread you, then ignore me.

Reinstalled for the 3rd time and it works fine. Weird...
