I have Settlers 3 normal edition and Vista, and I patched it to 1.60 and got the XP/Vista patch. I am running the program as administrator.
Whenever I load up the tutorial or Roman missions Settlers 3 closes down and gives me the message:
"structured exception c0000005 occurred at 0x005FADC9. Read from 3cd53bf0 failed"
If I go to the Asian or Egyptian missions it is really glitchy (words jumbled up on menu, continous spawning and despawning of tools on the ground etc) but the gameplay seems to be ok.
Anybody help please?
