Crash upon leaving Freeport

[hazard15301]

Hey guys. I just finished the second mission, where you have to rescue the elder, yada yada yada. Well I complete the mission, and I move to the green exit grid. The game moves to the world map view, and upon leaving the Freeport circle, the game crashes. I can move around inside the circle as much as I want, as long as I don't go out. The error message it displays is:

The Instruction at "ox006bb11f" references memory at "0x00000010". The Memory could not be "read".

Click Ok to terminate
Click cancel to debug.

The game has run fine on my computer before, and I haven't modified anything. I patched to 1.27, and ran the booster utility, but thats it. I also re-patched to see if that would fix it, but no dice.

Specs:
WinXP SP2
AMD Duron Processor
NVidia Geforce 2
256MB RAM

Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

Have you a previous saved game from before you started the mission? If so can you travel around that area on the world map without any problems?

No ... afraid not. This is like the 10th time I've installed the game, because everytime I would install it, something would happen and I'd get tired of it. I just want to finish the friggin thing!

Did you run the booster before or after you patched? If before reapply the patch, otherwise back up your save game, uninstall and delete your FOT folders. Reinstall, apply the patch and not the booster, copy your save game back and see if you still have problems.

Wellguys, Nothing seemed to work, so I just reinstalled and started a new game. I was just trying to find someway around starting a new game. I've played the first few missions through so many times it pains me to do it anymore. Thanks for your help guys!
