Although I am not an expert in this field as is Snoopy, I would say the problem may be created between the driver from your old card and new. Manualy remove the drivers completely and then try to reinstall. If that fails you can try to install Omega Drivers for ATI. Before installing Omega drivers, I had tons of problems with this game. Based on the information on the Omega site ATI has had a history of one bad patch after another. If I am not mistaken the link for Omega is in this section of the form. The man who writes the Omega drivers provides them for free and you have the option to donate to his work, but not a requirement to get the drivers.

I put my drivers back to standard VGA then installed the latest ones from ATI - Game CTD on start up.

Uninstalled the game and reinstalled from the ground up - still CTD

What next?
