Just right click on the .exe and run in into Windows XP compatibility mode. It worked for me.

I also did the atioglxx and copied it to my NWN folder. Still crashes.
It's already directly in the C file, if that's what you mean.

I know it sounds silly and overly simple to the point that it shouldn't help. But when everything else failed for me, this actually solved the problem perfectly. Just rename the nwmain.exe file to anything else and then launch it. The reason it works is explained in that article i linked just above. And you're right it is ATi GFX driver related. I hope it works for you too. :)
P.S. I'm also on Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit with a Radeon 6950 HD.

In my experience, doing a critical rebuild(full patching), running in windows XP compatibility mode(SP3) and setting the process affinity to zero(task manager > process) pretty much fixed all issues every time.

Every time I try to launch it, I get the "Neverwinter Nights has stopped working". That's it. Don't get anything else, it just won't load up.
I have windows 7, I downloaded it with the GOG downloader, it installed perfectly fine.
More details: I get the 'not working' message right after the splash screen. I ran the critical update to see if that helped, nothing. I installed without shortcuts and directly onto the C drive, nothing.

I am a bit late to the party, but I'm having this problem right now, too (Win 7, Radeon 7660). Dunno how i solved it the last times, BUT: the graphic card driver is at fault here. Dunno if another version of it works better.
WHAT works is: starting the game from ubuntu (they use another driver, which works flawlessly (I'm using 16.04 + wine). Helped with a couple of other games which had the same issue, too).
You can install ubuntu alongside windows, or make a bootable stick. Hope this helps someone!

Lol, thought this was a new post and I was confused why you didn't try the EE to see if that worked better. But now I see that the OG posts where from 2013.
