I've been having problems since I installed a second monitor on my computer. First, I thought it was the new monitor, but I disabled it and the game still crashes.

Basically, in windowed mode, the game doesn't like anything else happening on the computer.

I've isolated one event which crashes my computer. While in the BTS start window, if I attempt to grab an icon on my desktop and drag it, my screen flickers and then goes black. The music keeps playing, but the computer is non-responsive, so I have to force-shutdown.

The crashes occur during other events too, like if a balloon pops up in the lower right. It was also crashing in full screen mode, but I haven't been able to replicate a particular event.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, nvidia 8800 GTS, Intel Core2 Quad CPU 2.4 ghz, 4 gigs of ram. The graphics driver is up-to-date. BTS is up to date too, with version 3.13.

Thanks for any help.
