I had the same issue with the CTD after entering my PW.
I Checked run as admin and compatibility options and cleared the output folder.
This did not solve the problem...
I found this post and deleted the global.th6 file and it loaded fine.
I have this probem with my laptop running vista often.
You may want to add this to your support docs and a fix for this issue.
Thanks for your hard work and I am enjoying flying the friendly skys again
