Hi Robert, thanks for looking at this. I'm guessing you are missing MSVCR90D.DLL, this is the debug version of the Microsoft c runtime libraries. The crash.exe I uploaded was the debug version and I forgot it needed this (sorry). If you have VS 2008 installed then you would have this installed and it will work.
To save you time, I've attached the release version of the crash.exe which has the c runtime libraries built in. So this should work fine. It also needs directx 9 (d3d9.dll) but this will be included with windows 7/8 anyway.
Saying all that, running the crash.exe will probably only get you so far... I suspect to get to the bottom of this you will need to build your own version of this program, like what PAL1000 did. This is why I only provided the source code on my initial post and later provided my VS2008 solution.
If you need any more info or having problems, then let us know
Thanks
