I posted a method I used earlier to get TQ to work with the new v1.08 patch. Later on, however, the game began to crash again. So I switched to the original DVD and the game still crashed.

After some troubleshooting, I found the reason. For me, it wasn't the problem with the emulation program but rather my aging GeForce 6800GT. For some reason, TQ really taxes the GPU--even with my watercooling setup. So, when I downclocked my card's speed to its original 375MHz speed for the core from its BIOS-flashed 420MHz(but kept the memory at 1100MHz), the game stop crashing.

I guess with the summer heat (California), TQ was causing the GPU to get too heavy and hot. =P
