TNM Crashing to desktop, tried damn near everything

Hey,

I would just like to say this mod is brilliant, and I love it almost as much as I love DX, but as of late I've been running into quite a few problems trying to get it to run.

Here is my dilemma, I've had it run before on my machine, but it's stopped working for some reason. Every time I try to run it opens up the splash screen for 30 seconds or so, then it crashes to the desktop before displaying anything. But Deus Ex runs fine itself. I've tried installing and reinstalling both Deus Ex and TNM and nothing seems to work. I keep getting the annoying crash error. :x

My specs are:
Windows 7 x64
AMD M880G Athlon Dual Core 2.10 Ghz
4 GB Ram
Ati radeon hd 4200
Direct X 11

Hey, thanks for responding. The error is a standard crash to desktop error. Splash screen first, then changes to black screen on startup and then "TNM.exe has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution"

Erk, okay this might not be the trouble as it usually comes with a specific error. Worth a try though. Reinstall this, you may get a repair option, if it doesn't fix it come back.

Have you tried disabling Windows DEP?

Like so: http://www.zensoftware.co.uk/kb/article.aspx?id=10002

That's what typically causes these error-less crash-to-desktops.

Other than that, please explain what steps you've already taken.

Unfortunately re-installing the C++ Redistributable didn't work, but DEP did, to a certain extent. Now the game starts, I hear the audio, but the screen is full of moving blinking white squares. Then after I force quit, it gives me a page full of "General Protection Fault" URender Draw Frame, URender Draw Frame, URender Drawframe, etc etc etc.

Nevermind, I got it. I changed the Render Device in the .ini to Direct3D instead of OpenGL, and now it works fine. Thanks for all your help mods!
