After two days of reading through the forums and attempting different solutions, I have a simple (maybe stupid) question... Have you checked the save subroutine for legacy code limiting the number of characters in the filepath? I was unable to enter a save filepath >65 characters.
My thought is that with the extended filepaths inherent in Win 7 this might be the "elusive" cause of the repeated crashing which is making the game all but unplayable for some users.
FYI the event viewer data for the repeated crash on my system is as follows:
+ System
- Provider
