Patch Problems!

[crowdies]

Having just got my machine sorted and running reasonably well after installing more memory,(graphic settings on 3 and no glitches)I installed the upgrade patch. Now things are worse than before! It gives me minimal graphic settings, NO SOUND and
only the options menu item functions. Quick Combat, mission and campaign tabs are completely dead!
I installed the new direct X9 and followed the installation to the letter.
My machine is a Pentium 4 with 768mb ram and a Nvidia Geforce MX 400card with the suggested 4.x drivers!
I have now returned to the original installation and everything is back to normal!
Any suggestions anyone?

Me too, I just can't decide if the patch makes it better or worse. I just upgraded my card to a G4 TI4800, and I have come to the conclusion that CFS3 just doesn't like this card.

Tried about 4 different drivers, with patch, without patch, DX8, DX9 etc etc. I noticed the patch just alters a few settings in the .cfg file such as disabling water animations.

My main problem is the game crashing, especially in multiplayer. The game just shuts off and boots me back to my desktop.
