geop0p3, as to your data loss you could try savestates, press Shift-F1 to save and F1 to load, so when it crashed you can get back to your last place. Though for me it sometimes tells me i have no memory card, idk why.
You could try installing the latest DX9 as the one that comes with Win7 is just a bunch of stubs. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/det...g=en&id=35

I liked the part where it worked, except there was no such part.
