I have owned the game for a few days now and havnt been able to play it once. It always crashes back to the desktop when it is loading the level after you select your character. I would appreciate any help you can provide, this situation is most frustrating.

Also every time I download the update it says that the downloaded file is invalid because the md5 files dont match

I have updated sound and video drivers

xp home - pentium IV 3.2 - nvidia 9800gtx - soundblaster audigy

the error report is as follows
