One of the recent patches must have borked this for me, either that or it's due to one of the recent graphics driver updates or something?
Anyway, whenever I either try to save my options settings, or start a new game, BOOM! Instant crash.

I've attempted to manually adjust these settings via the cfg.txt file in my documents folder, but no matter what I choose this happens.
I should note that the only reason I was even able to get to this point (i.e. being able to reach the main menu of the game!), was by copying an old backed up cfg.txt that I had lying around for some reason, which is possibly missing some config items. Prior to doing this, the game wouldn't even start at all, it looked like it had some issues creating the config files in the first place! (as in, the game would appear in task manager, then disappear seconds later).
If anyone could shed some light, that would be good. I haven't played this in ages and just when I want to dive back in, this crap happens.
Addendum: thinking it might be due to incorrect patch application, I blew away the old version, redownloaded the very latest full installation, then installed it from that. Didn't help.
