Hello. I have had one crash to desktop experience during Crysis Warhead, during the first level. Everything seems OK now though...

1. Check task manager and look for unessential / spurious programs to close.

2. Update all drivers! Audio, Graphics Card etc.

3. Apply windows updates.

Post back once you have done this :)

Are you using a 'dodgy' copy? One of the cracked versions floating about is known to have exactly this issue.

Apparently.

all the drivers are up to date and it still crashes, doesn't matter what graphics settings.

Faulting application crysis.exe, version 1.1.1.687, faulting module crymovie.dll, version 1.1.1.687, fault address 0x00028a8d. - the event viewer entry from the crash

Are you overclocking, if so try it at default speeds for CPU/GPU

no, nothings overclocked on my computer, no idea why it's doing it because all my other games are running fine now.

OS: Windows xp home edition
RAM: 2GB DDR2
Graphics Card: 9600GT Latest Drivers
CPU: AMD Athlon 6400+
DirectX: 9.0c
 
A lot of people are experiencing CTD during check point saves (myself included). It doesn't do it every time though. There is a thread about it on the MyCrysis forums and Crytek are investigating. Although your problem sounds different.

but i don't even get into the game to be able to get to a checkpoint


possibly a sound issue?
i have my onboard sound disabled because it conflicts with my graphics card and i just looked in the crysis warhead backup logs and they say:
[flow] Sound:PlaySoundEvent - Can't play sound 'Sounds/physics:usable_objects:fridge_hum_loop'! about 6 times in each one.

Ive been having various crashing and performance problems with it. It occasionally crashes during loading, but for a while it was crashing at every single time it did a quick save. I found that turning texture streaming off (+r_texturestreaming 0 added to the shortcut) helped a bit and it crashes a bit less, but it still stutters a lot.

Kinda dissapointed to be honest, runs way worse than crysis does. :(
