You could run that scan I posted or more quickly you can right click on My Computer and then click Properties.

There are RAM diagnostics as well such as: http://www.memtest86.com/

But if you can run this scan so we can also see your graphics setup:

Were you ever able to play this game? Is this the only game that you have problems with?

I've scanned most of those .dll errors and found nothing but a few suggestions of malware.

What is the exact geforce video card model #?

Sorry I forgot: start/Run/ dxdiag | Display | Device will show this.

This is the latest driver for that card:

Driver Installation Hints

"Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.

Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.

Did you follow the installation steps for the driver as seen above?

Confusing

and tedious ... yes ... we try to help track down the errors here.

This is one of the few places where people work for free.

I would suggest trying other games as well as retrying this game to see if you re-create the exact error.

The point being to pin-point the cause.

Other places to look for errors:

Start/Run/ eventvwr

Also view your Error Log via:

[1] Start Menu
[2] Help and Support
[3] Pick a Task
[4] Tools
[5] Advanced System Information
[6] View the Error Log

Look for any synchronous entries.
