LOADING ERROR AFTER JULY UPDATE - MSVCR80.dll

Hi guys,

just run into the trap that CF won´t start after the last patch - a fresh install had brought no success too.
Pop-up window appears that CF application don´t work anymore and must be closed.
Info:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Fault Module Name : MSVCR80.dll

My solution for this problem was to change the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) settings in my win7 Ultima 64bit:

Log in as administrator
- Click the Start orb and right-click “Computer”
- Choose “Properties” from the context menu.
- Choose “Advanced system settings” from under “Tasks” in the left pane.
- (Approve the User Account Control query (You will have to be an administrator to do it).)
- Click the button “Settings” in the Performance section.
- Click the tab “Data Execution Prevention”
- choose “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:”
- click Add to add the crossfire.exe (browse to the game directory and choose the .exe)
- Click OK twice
- Restart the computer for the changes to take effect

Seems the last patch have changed the memory settings/addresses, and btw. not a good way to make this software more secure...

If someone helps this - give me a ty ;)
