If I figure it out I'll let you know. Reloaded the game in 7, but have had issues as well. Might come down toe installing DX 9c, but I am not sure how that will affect 7 since it is using a higher version. So far I place a dll file the game was complaining about on the machine and was able to launch it. It's very slow on the machine though and in between scenes is so slow I am considering a rebuild to XP again.
reloaded DX, still no joy. Going to try the Steam launch options to override the DX version. Always a DX crash when doing an Alt+Tab.
Trainer crashes the game all the time also, wish this was an auto-updating trainer.
