In short, I've figured out some causes to common problems in LB2. I compiled a database to address the following issues: 1) Failed program execution 2) Program crash at debriefing 3) Freezing 4) Options menu Ghosting. It works on Win 7 x64, and likely on other Vista/7 platforms. Just for kicks I also included a glide wrapper with a working config if you want. I got home late tonight and tested it. 8 missions before a crash.
Here it is. Worth a try, easy to install and uninstall:

. Was one of the few computer games I actually enjoyed. Hope this is useful for someone. If you want details on what specifically was causing the issues I'd be happy to provide them.
