Hello Gniarf. Thank you for responding. You're right, I should have provided more specific information. Have accumulated additional data. So, here goes...

The Problem: Starting with Chapter 3, when I press the right mouse button to zoom the rifle sight, NVN crashes.

Let's start with my system specs:
Dell XPS 730x
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit, Service Pack 2
CPU: Intel Core i7-940 2.93 GHz
RAM: 6GB
Video: nVidia GeForce GTX 285 (2 GPUs, SLI)
Audio: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium

My NVN video settings are High, with a screen resolution of 1920x1200. Have changed only one key binding: Moved the Special attack from the Q key to the F key because I accidentally kept throwing away my melee weapon when grabbing for the WASD keys (not good in the Challenge Rooms). No other changes, except when I modified the config.ini files to enable widescreen FOV during my third install of the game. Did not apply the widescreen FOV fix to my fourth install.

History:
1) Installed Aspyr retail copy of NVN. Created new profile. Played through Chapter 2, including the first three Challenge Rooms. Rifle zoom crashed NVN at start of Chapter 3.

2) Reinstalled NVN and applied Aspyr 1.2 patch. Created new profile and played through to Chapter 3, where the rifle zoom crashed NVN again.

3) Reinstalled NVN; applied Aspyr 1.2 patch; applied Ztorm's widescreen FOV patch (including the LScripts CWeapon.lua file patch). Created new profile and played through to Chapter 3, where the rifle zoom crashed NVN again.

4) Reinstalled again and applied the Aspyr 1.2 patch. Created new profile and played through to Chapter 3. Same rifle zoom crash problem. Now holding, pending a solution. I really need the rifle zoom in Chapter 3.

It seems odd that this problem doesn't occur until Chapter 3. Also, I have no problem in Chapter 3 when I press the right mouse button to zoom the other weapons: pistol, luger, shotgun--only the rifle. This rifle is the one with which you start Chapter 3: brown stock with a bayonet attached. It's one wheel click up from the Winchester shotgun.

When the game crashes, I get an error screen with three buttons: Abort, Retry, Ignore. No matter which button I push, the game closes and returns me to my desktop.

I tried to find the script_error.log. It wasn't in the application program folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspyr\NecroVisioN\Bin. Instead, I found it in my user NVN folder, where my profiles are stored; specifically in this folder: C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Aspyr\NecroVisioN\Bin.

Here's the latest error message. In fact, all of the error messages are exactly the same, except for the date- and time-stamps of the crashes.
./Data/LScripts/Classes/Types/Vector.lua:53:Set
./Data/LScripts/Classes/CPlayer.lua:1880:Tick

./Data/LScripts/Main/GObjects.lua:222:Tick
./Data/LScripts/Main/Game.lua:695:Tick
./Data/LScripts/Main/Game.lua:2131:Game_Tick

I've really enjoyed this game so far (I still play Painkiller). But no way I'm going to spend the next 10 chapters with the rifle zoom crashing the game. That would simply be not fun. I'd rather leave with fond memories of what I was able to enjoy playing. I just don't understand why everything works perfectly until Chapter 3.

Let me know if you need more data. And thanks for anything you can do to help.
