Crashing in Win 7 at startup

Hi folks, I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, but I'm not finding it on a search.

I am running Win 7 home, and installed SHIII using the procedures to strip Starforce, patch to 1.4, and swap in the no-DVD files from the ubi-approved thread.

The game is crashing on startup right after the load meter on the start screen fills. The game drops to desktop and a "Program has stopped working" window pops up.

I tried running in admin and stepping compatibility back from XP SP2 to WIN95. It happens the same in each case.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
