Still Can't Get Out Of Serpent Temple

Going to try a re-install of the game, if that does not help, I may have to reformat the hard drives as I changed memory, video cards, cpu, & installed a new mouse after I started playing and every third or fourth time the game crashes, Windows has problems accessing the registry or loading files belonging to the mouse or video card when it restarts.
(And yes, I did properly remove the files for old card and removed it from my system properties menu before installing the new one and the mouse is just a newer version of the brand name I was using & I have updated the drivers).
I don't think it is my systems fault but I would like to give the game the benefit of the doubt knowing what problems Windows can create for itself, esp since it is working with a newer cpu, video card & mouse, all gotten the same day.
I do reformat & re-install on ocassion to get rid of crap that clutters my system & I have not had to in a while so it will be no biggie & just may help. I can even burn the save game data onto a CD so I won't have to start over completely (I hope) haha
If after a new install of everything does not help, I am going to sit back & wait on a new patch. I have spent more time crashing & restarting today than I have playing and it is something beyond a big bummer.
I want to start the New Year with a smile. ; )
