Hmm... I have some small thoughts to add. One is to try and update DirectX to the latest version of DX9. Another... when that error box comes up, try clicking the option for more info, and report the file that it says caused the problem (which is usually a .dll file, but certainly not always). My last thought is... maybe you could try v1.12 WIP, which is stable I'd say (I ran it through some intense tests). You can download the WIP
here. Hopefully that helps...
