problem with crashing... - by redsnapper511

I've gotten to the end of the mission where I'm stealing from Ramirez, and up until now everything has worked perfectly. Once I got to the room where Ramirez was standing(not sure whether this is related to it or not), the game started messing up so that every time I tried to load a saved game, it would crash and close.
Once I got his purse and beat the mission, it played a little audio clip of Garrett's voice, but it only lasts about half a second and doesn't let the clip finish. Then it plays the little mission complete movie and lets me see the stats from the mission, but when I click continue, it freezes just like it does after i load a saved game.
I've played through the end of the mission about 20 more times and it keeps doing the same thing. I've also read the FAQ(again) and reinstalled. I'm on XP home with a dual athlon processor(I've followed the instructions of hyperthreading too) and 512 MB of ram.
Anyone know what the problem is?

If no one has any ideas.............
I backed up my save files and deleted them from the game directory and then tried again, and everything works perfectly again. I don't really want to start over, though, so.... is there a temp folder or something that I could clear out, or any possible way that I could fix my saved games....?

You can COPY the Saved games ONE AT A TIME and paste them into the SAVE folder.
Then try them, if it doesn't crash try the next one. I have a dozen or more copies of the SAVE folder for the original games that I swap back and forth to let me check some areas without continual replay to get there.
I just rename the current file to SAVES-OLD or somesuch, then rename the copy of the earlier file to SAVES and start the game.
I have moved individual saves into and out of the SAVES folder many times. But if you are using DARKLOADER you need to have a seperate GAME installation *TDP TMA etc.* that DARK is not using.
I have the original TDP 1.14, the patched 1.33, Gold and TMA 1.07, the 2 copies of the patched TMA 1.18 all on my system and have GOLD and one of the TMA 1.18 linked to DARK. So I can jump in and out of 1.14, 1.33 and a seperate copy of TMA 1.18 that lets me do this outside of Darkloader.
