Rainbow 6 Vegas... fix the crashes?

Just wondered if anyone had been playing R6Vegas and found any fix for the constant crashes. I know it's a pretty common problem, from reading ubi's forums, and that I'm not alone, but I was just hoping someone might have found something.
I've done all the normal things to fix it... short of reinstalling windows, but I'm probably going to give that a try this weekend as it only started a couple of weeks ago and has only grown worse.

I'm gonna say the most common things to start off with:
Drivers
Patches (1.04)
Malware
etc.

yeah... as I stated, I did all the normal stuff.
uninstalled/reinstalled drivers.
uninstalled/reinstalled the game, full patch instead of incrementals.
Scan every day for virus and spyware.
Nothing that easy is working. I think it must be something I installed that has caused a conflict of some type. All other games play just fine for hours on end. R6Vegas plays for 10-20 minutes and locks up. SP, MP... lan or internet. Oh well, maybe the next patch will help, or I'll just reinstall windows and try again.

I don't get why people complain about games being wonky when they ALT+TAB in and out. I mean wouldn't common sense dictate that it would?
No offense to you or anyone else.

I'm not complaining....I'm just stating the only time I have a crash in it....

I can Alt Tab in and out of GRAW at will, and it never crashes.
We did a little more tweaking on my over clock and made sure it was 100% stable. It let me play for about an hour, before it crashed to desktop. *sigh*
Rainbox 6problems too

Mine will work fine sometimes but then when I start the game as usual- it will run, load, then crash and quit completely. Ive done the install/uninstall, patch update, etc. etc. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas?

Well, after reinstalling Windows, the game seems to be running fine. I haven't tried it on Hamachi yet, but I was getting crashes even in SP before.
And, the 1.05 patch came out within the last few days that claims to have fixed several problems I had noticed before. Maybe it'll be worth playing again now.

I get my new mobo tonight so barring a catastrophic event...I'm going to install Vegas and try the new patch. Here's to hoping all goes well

I actually played this again for a little bit today. Still seems like the same old game though. No crashes, but I never had many problems to begin with.

are you overclocked? can your system handle the game? It could just be getting hot and the pc locks up. Does this happen in other games?
