Game Crash on Exit

[ChurchofVirus]

Hi, first off, my hardware is top of the line and my drivers are all updated and all that jazz. I'm trying to run the game on Vista 32bit, when I go into the game and attempt to exit from the main menu the game crashes. Wouldn't be that bad but due to this scenario I cannot alter my video options cause obviously they don't save after the crash.

Also my game installs to program files/penumbra and the patches want to save to program files/penumbra/episode one, is this correct?

Thanks.
