Hi Everyone,

I have got F18 going on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit machine.

I followed all the TSH install and found that CTDs happened frequently when starting from DXTweaker. So I ignored the advise and DO NOT start from DXTweaker, instead using a one-core batch file to start F18.EXE directly with no compat settings at all.
I have not had a single CTD in hours of play, instant, training missions, all areas, so FOR ME this works.

Sadly so many of these fixes work for one person on one machine.... You really must be willing to experiment with everything and measure the result by flying F18.

Good luck and I hope these anecdotal suggestions work for you.
