Training Missions crash even after /3GB switch and updated Training Missions

[pbpullman]

So I just bought the download 1.1.0.8. version of the A-10. I'll assume I'm correct that there is no later patch or update I need. Before I made the /3GB switch the the Training Missions would crash halfway through loading... even after downloading the updated versions. I have done ALL of the following:

 

1. Verified DirectX 9.0c

2. Verified C++ 2008...in fact I have all versions and SPs from 2005 to 2010.

3. Verified my sound and graphics cards had updated drivers.

4. Made the /3GB switch... which has been giving me some stability problems and now A-10 won't even load past the initial splash screen.

 

Does the fact that my sound and vid cards being 32-bit cause the problem? I mean, do I have to have 64-bit drivers installed on top of making the /3GB switch?

 

Also I heard there were two start icons...one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit...I only see one launch icon...even in sub-folders.

 

The game looked great when I previewed it...now I'm wondering how many more bugs and glitches I'll find :(

To ease with the process of elimination, can you try to reduce all major graphics settings? Also, confirm if this is happening with other missions or only the training missions.
