Things are definitely improving, or at least changing randomly

. I'm one of those people desperately sticking with Win2k, which seems to be equivalent to XP with SP1 when it comes to the problems here. Attached is the DxDiag dump. I'll just dump what I've got on the pile in the hope it will be useful:
ep1: works fine
ep2: affected by the crash when loading a game
ep3: crashes after credits at start of opening cutscene (just after the title fades away)
ep4: crashes at start of opening cutscene (probably like ep3, because the credits come afterwards)
ep5: works fine again.
The crash is the well known access violation with seemingly randomly varying hexcodes. Currently, with ep5 working, the system has the 9371 NVidia driver installed; so that alone can't be the cause of the crash. I hate random interference crashes and am glad I'm not the programmer who has to fix this

ep3 and ep4 run fine on my second computer with XP SP2, I didn't test the others.

Thanks. As far as I know we didn't change anything significantly between episodes 4 and 5. I do know that some people experiencing an "LP5 unpacking" error with the other episodes suddenly don't have the problem anymore with episode 5. I'm starting to wonder if a windows update or update to virus protection software could be the reason.
