Max Payne 1 crashes after intro movie!

[SilverPaw750]

I forget I never got this fixed - Max Payne 1 hasn't worked for me ever since I got a new computer.

I'm running on:
P4 3.0GHz (HT, could that be the problem?)
Nvidia GeForce 6800
1024 MB DDR2 RAM
Windows XP SP2

I have the latest patch I know of, 1.05, installed for it. I have the game running on all max settings (everything maxed, at 1152x864x32 resolution, i tried lower res, it still doesn't work).

So when I start it up, the intro movie starts, but whether I try to skip it or let it play till the end, the game crashes and I get asked if I want to send an error report (I did, it didn't offer any solution).

I want it to work so I can play The Real World beta, dammit!

Um, your computer matches the stats I have with my computer except my graphics card is a bit worse. I ran Max payne just fine. There is probably something wrong with the disc or the file got corrupted during installation. Uninstall and reinstall.

Did you try running it in 98/ME compatability mode?

YA if you're running it on windows XP, XP hates this game. I tried to run it using every suggestion I could find and I still couldn't get it to run. But some people have luck with compatibillity mode.
