You have a good rig. Have you downloaded SP1 for Vista from M$?

I was having CTDs from certain programs, as it was a Vista issue. SP1 has helped to stabilize the OS from causing CTD issues. This also included problems I was having with art programs, and my printer copier and scanner.

If you don't have it, you can get it here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Also, have you tried adding the SH 4 .exe file to the DEP in the settings for your computer?

Right click on My Computer. The Control Panel/Systems window should open.

To the left under Tasks, go to Advanced System Settings

Click on the Settings Button in the Performance window

A Performance Options window will open

Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab

Make sure that it is set to Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select

Click on the Add button

You will have to navigate through your hard drive to where your .exe files for your programs to add to the list.

I was having problems with BoBII, CFS 3 with O.F.F. WWI add-on, and a list of other programs including SH 3 and SH 4.

In Windows XP, you could edit the Boot.ini file for Windows and turn DEP off entirely, but I've not found the same file for Vista, so I would be able to shut it off completely, and not have to worry about remembering to perform this little procedure.

I know this is a pain in the backside, but it may help if you haven't tried it yet.

Hope this helps with your computer ills!
