Hi mate MFM is large on memory, how much RAM do you have? Which OS, is it 64 or 32 bit? If you use 64 bit OS try using the 4GB Patch, it can be found here;

If you have 32 bit OS you'll need the 3GB Switch see this post for more help;

Please remeber to back up your files first

Hope this helps.

Best regards.

As Fubar said, usually a CTD on load indicates a RAM issue. If you've got a sufficient amount, (in excess of 2 GB with the appropriate patch/switches), then you may need to try:

1) Test your RAM sticks to be sure they're good and healthy.

2) Pull up Task Manager and check to see how many apps/services are running in the background and determine which (if necessary) can be safely shut down.

Good luck!
