TDU Has Stopped Working

About half the time I load Test Drive Unlimited 1 on my computer, I receive a "This program has stopped working." dialog box. It happens before the White Atari screen appears. Once I get in the game it's smooth sailing. Below is the error...

I am running Windows 7 64-Bit. I tried setting the program compatibility as Windows XP, as well as Run as Administrator, and it still comes up with the same error. After a few times it'll eventually work. I was just wondering if anyone has seen this and has a solution.

 

BTW, I am using the Direct2Drive version. No megapack is installed.

 

Thank you for your time.

Well i finally figured it out. It was due to my awesome windows firewall settings. The firewall thought the game was installed in the folder "/Atari/TDU", when really it was just under /Atari... I'm still a little confused why the game would need the internet just to start up... I do have a Direct2Drive copy of the game so that could be part of the problem.... Who knows. All I know is the game now works every time.

 

Thanks for trying to help. Sorry the problem wasn't very adventuresome. :)

 

edit: As usual the problem came back up. But i (knocking on so much wood right now) I think i figured it out. I tried disabling antivirus, that did nothing, I tried disabling/enabling all my soundcard devices which also did nothing.

 

I used google and found someone having sort of the same problem here (it's the last post.)

 

What he/she did was go into device manager and disable any HID-compliant devices that were non-specific named (they all were just called "HID-compliant device".) I had about 15 of these so i disabled all of them. I loaded up TDU about 20 times in a row and it worked every time.

 

Hopefully someone else will see this if they run into the same problem.

I'm having exactly the same problem here, but I don't know what that "HID Compliant Device" means or where to find it to fix my game... -LOL-

I know that sounds stupid, but I have never heard about it before so it is out of my knowlegde.

If you could help telling me more about it so I could finally fix my TDU I'll be glad ;D

 

It is the same crash report, but I do have the Megapack installed... I'm running the windows 7 64-bit too and I tried everything that came to my mind...
