Of course, this solution is obviously not the best one. If I hadn't been needing an upgrade, I would not have done it just to play a buggy game. So, good luck waiting for a patch to come out. Hopefully one is out soon.

Indeed that is not the recomended solution. But it proves that the game disc, and your other hardware wasn't the problem. You even had reloaded XP to rule out bad vxd files. I wonder what was on the mobo or CPU that could have caused the problem? Perhaps a wonky BIOS setting or chipset driver?
