Game crashes immediatly after loading

[Brucifer]

Hello,
I have read and read this forum looking for someone having the same issue so I don't have to repeat what has already been fixed, but I really can't find the exact same problem. I found one that was close and there was a screen shot of the settings in options. I tried this fix, but I was not able to duplicate the exact same settings as my system would not do the same refresh rates on the monitor etc... I tried to get them as close as possible but it did not fix the issue. This is the thread I'm referring to: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=6330

What I'm really wondering is if Atari makes any products that actually work out of the box when you buy them.. I had some serious issues with the game "The Witcher" recently too. Atari still has yet to respond to that E-mail, so I guess I know how they feel about customer service.

My copy of Kings Bounty installed fine, no issues there. I also D/L'd and installed the 1.6 Atari patch, that also ran fine. When I start the game, that runs fine. I can get into all of the settings menus and that sort of thing. However, when I click on "New game" and go through those screen's, everything runs great until it loads the first screen of the actual game. Then, it runs for about 2 or 3 seconds, the screen goes black, the cursor becomes a red circle with a red slash mark through it, then the screen flashes several times and my whole system re-boots. My system meets the requirements to run the game, I went through and updated all of the drivers a couple weeks ago when I was struggling with "The Witcher" trying to get that to run. So... Anyone seen this before? And/or know how to fix it? I was going to try to run it without the patch tomorrow and see if that helps any. I get tired of un-installing and re-installing, but it would be nice to play the game once!

I wanted to post the copy I have of my directx info, but it says the file is larger than what is allowed in here.
