Does it still crash using OpenGL rather than D3D?

What display driver version are you using? Do any builds since 3.6 crash (look in the Recent Builds forum)? New drivers for that card were released earlier this month but they probably won't help you much. Unfortunately that video card isn't going to work well with the game and it may be the reason it's crashing. You can try running FS2_Open in software mode (-nohtl) but you need to make sure you aren't using any hi-poly models. If neither software mode nor OpenGL work then I'm afraid you will need a new video card.

Reminder sent to mrgrendel

Can you post a dxdiag report please. Also it could be that you, as taylor said need a new video card. If you have an AGP slot open try www.pricewatch.com for a new video card. If you want advice about purchasing a new video card contact any of the SCP staff.
