Crash on first load

When the game gets past the intro, it goes to a screen with loading and max's face on it. That is as far as I have gotten in about 3 days. What happens is I get a "cannot read" memory error. I tried several of the compilation switches, and tried many of the techniques discussed here. I ru my system in 1024 mode, and tried runnng thegamein lower modes, switched everything to low on details,etc. This is the first game I have had in about 3 years with such a severe error , and it is my first game i have played coming from remedy. Before i take it back to the store or toss it, I am looking for any helpful suggestions that may help. Thanks in advance. Specs are as follows:

Direct x 8.0
Windows 2000 SP2
392 mb RAM
p3 1000 ghz
Geforce MX driver 12.41
SB Live soundcard
24x cd rom and a 52 speed cd-r (tried on both)
