Well, I thought I had it fixed, but now I'm confused. 
  
It's not related to TSLRCM, or corrupt modules.  Looks like it's just Windows.   
  
I reinstalled 1.0, and loaded up my save, and got the same crash to title screen. 
  
Then I tried using XP SP3 Compatibility mode, and it worked and proceeded to T3-M4. 
  
Thinking I had it taken care of, I upgraded KOTOR2, and installed TSLRCM, and used the same compatibility mode settings.... but... same problem. 
  
Does TSLRCM work with the 1.0 exe?  I wonder if going back to 1.0/no TSLRCM, getting to T3's scene, saving, then upgrading and going back to TSLRCM would work.  This is getting a bit too convoluted though. 
  
I've spent several DAYS now fiddling with settings.  I've been meaning to play TSLRCM for a long time, and this new version seems like a great time to actually do it, but now nothing works! Argggh....
