is a change in your system.

also, this:

doesnt make any sense to me. you swapped out the save game and it still crashes, yet it's ONLY in this campaign ... that the game crashes. sorry, but that seems to be a contradiction.

what it sounds like happened, is that when updating your anti-virus or in de-fragging, something changed on your system as a result. it could be something seemingly insignificant, but enough to alter a driver setting or something.

also, were the kyro cards supported in stw?

check the Tech Library for additional help with stw. that's the archive for all the earlier stuff on stw and we/mi from the apothecary. there's lots of stuff about ctd's and kyro cards in there.

my guess, again, is that this is a driver problem, either sight or sound. you may have to get some other drivers.
