History: RaiseException() Address = 0x7c812aeb (file name not found)

Does the spec of your PC match the minimum requirements on the back of your original box?

This is the error I get

I'm pretty sure my system meets the specs

Vista ultimate 32 bit
Core 2 Duo E6600 OCed to 3.2ghz
4GB PC6400 RAM
2xATI Radeon HD 4670 512MB

-EDIT-
I found the problem, I had a newer version of Nvidia PhysX installed. I uninstalled then reinstalled the version from the DVD and it works now

I dont like the look of kerne132.dll it should be kernel32.dll

And btw Your 4gb ram isnt getting used fully, you need a 64bit Operating system to get the most out of your extra RAM. At the moment you will only utilize 3gb of it on 32bit.

[The One]

Yeah I know that about the 4gb of RAM but there are several programs I use that aren't compatible with 64 bit. I thought about dual booting with both but haven't gotten around to it. as far as the kerne132.dll, I did a print screen of the error message then OCRed it so that's just a mistake. The important thing is that the problem was due to the newer version of Nvidia PhysX that was installed.

Great glad you found out

I have a simliar issue tho it seems not so easily solved. I attempted the solution used above, but, alas, no dice. After the install, I run the game, get a splash screen, then nothing. Black (I hear the audio fine). Then the dreaded Gen Protection Fault with this:
