Game Crashes - Is there a way to avoid? The Future?

I discovered the project late 2009 and played it til early 2011.... not that the game dindnt crash before, but its crashing mutch more now! Especially in the challenges!
Is there a way to avoid crashes, Im running W7, DEP or no DEP doesnt make difference here.... will virtual machine w95/98/xp (dont know if these are compatible with the new 3.0 .dll) or compatibility mode help me?
Is the crashes a side effect of the new card codes or the 2k limit break?
Are we going in a way where developers will be able to rewrite te code or in a way where the game will be just barely playable?
