Hello,
Yesterday I got my new computer and after installing SFC3 the game ran fine. I then went to the microsoft web page and installed all the reccommended updates as well as the latest DirectX (9.0b). Since then the game will load and I can connect to the dynavervese. However, I cannot enter combat or do missions (this is regardless of wether I play multiplayer, singleplayer or any other mode of the game). I crash to desktop with the following error message.
Unhandled Exception! in Version 1.01 Beta 2 Build 500
SFC3.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module d3d8.dll at 001B:02B782F7

Here are some of my system details.
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
512 MB DDR SDRAM
128 MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card
any ideas would be appreciated
