Crashing during the campaign is a symptom of 4gb memory problems, I'd guess you did not install the 4Gb patch correctly. it's a bit fiddly.
HOWEVER this thread is about the latest
Knight's Cross edition of GWX, which is much more stable and all round better. This is supplied as a zip package which you unzip to a folder somewhere outside Program Files, set compatibility mode for sh3.exe in the new folder to Windows 7 and run it. No need for administrator mode if you are outside Program Files. As long as your system can support 1920x1080 resolution (as an option in display properties, it does not need to be selected) it should go. Knights Cross includes the HSie/Stiebler patch which does the 4Gb stuff.
You only need a legal copy of SH3 for copyright reasons. Hell, it's only a few quid.
