The game has alway played normal with the patch. I do not know what happened but I had deleted some demos and old games and now the game crashes I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and i still get a crash with the message that there is an error at ctp2.exe at 0167:004a3b79. It doesnit matter whether I remove the directory or not I dont think the CD is defective I need help

When you removed other games, by chance did you click the "Yes, delete All?" option? This is one of the most insidious pieces of garbage to come from Microsoft as games routinely take advantage of native libaries (files already in Windows) and when you delete a game, this option will delete THOSE files, too! (at least the ones that game was using) This means that any OTHER game that might need that file will...no longer work.

Brilliant. Always answer NO to that blasted question. Better safe than sorry.
