Crashing Issue on Tatooine

[chrohandhaivey]

I am having an issue on Tatooine when I exit the Krayt Dragon's Lair when I discover Calo Nord waiting for me. As I walk out, the game goes into a cutscene that shows Calo and his henchmen on their speeders. ~3 camera angles in, when it shows a close up of Calo on his bike and he's doing something with the controls seemingly (turning off the bike... I don't remember from the last time I played the game a while back), the game crashes. Now, I run Vista, and I know that has it's own problems, and I've gone through all possible fixes which have gotten rid of all of my other crashing issues and has allowed smooth play thus far (Tatooine was the first planet I went to after Dantooine, so I'm at what is essentially the very end of my second planet, excluding Taris). No matter what my settings are or how I approach it, it always crashes at the exact same moment in this cutscene (it's prior to any dialogue has even been spoken). As of now, it looks like I'll have to give up on the game since I'm trapped in the lair with no way of leaving due to this issue. Anyone have any insight on how I might fix this or how I might altogether skip the cutscene (sadly) to get right to the fighting? Any help is much appreciated. (My hardware scan is below... the game fails to recognize new video cards, so what is listed as my vid card is actually what was listed under the OpenGL Renderer category -- a GeForce GTX 260.)

 

Edit: Uhhh... it's also worth is to note that my OS is *NOT* Windows XP SP2. My computer came with Windows Vista 64-bit... the game just thinks my OS is XP since I run the game in compatability mode.
