Title more or less says it all. The game starts up fine and I get to the menu, but as soon as the game loads about half way after I press "New Game" it crashes to desktop. There's a massive error report with a bunch of numbers in it but it didn't really tell me anything valuable
Hardware:
AMD Phenom 9850 2.5 GHz Quad Core.
ATI Radeon HD 5750 512mb
2GB DDR2 Ram
Windows 7 Ultimate, fully updated.
Any help is really, really appreciated.
Here is what the error report says:

All those errors are saying is that the the problem is in the gothic 2 executable which seems unlikely to me. Your best route here is probably a reinstall making sure that you:
-Install using admin privileges.
-Install outside of program files
-and disable your antivirus for good measure
My guess is that a file is missing which can lead on to errors like that. Though you may want to reinstall directX 9 (installs alongside 11) and video drivers.

Alright. I guess I'll try reinstalling. I should have tried that before posting but I really didn't want to redownload the game due to bandwidth issues. I'll post again if it works.
Also, thanks for the really speedy responses.

You didn't keep the installer? I keep all mine for that very reason.

I have very little hard drive space. Keeping a 2gb installer just in case it messes up isn't really a good idea.
