Thief 1 Gold post-objectives-screen crashing (but only on certain missions?) - by vortex1991

EDIT: Turns out I'm an idiot and didn't even consider trying DDFix; I'll just leave this here as-is on the off-chance anybody googling similar problems happens to hit this post.
Haven't been able to find any relevant information, here or otherwise, my apologies if I've overlooked something obvious.
I'm running under Windows XP without any real problems; I had to use that "d:\setup.exe -lgntforce" business to get it to install, as well as installing the Direct3D Texture Error Fix and that RegIndeo.bat solution for movie issues. Now to the problem! There's three missions that, without fail, dump me to the desktop with a nondescript "Thief has encountered an error and needs to close" message, these missions being the final mission, the blooper reel mission, and the tutorial (oddly, the tutorial mission only crashes if I try to run it in expert difficulty, the other crashy missions don't care what difficulty I try to play under). The crashes only occur after the mission loads, but before there's even a glimpse of the level. I'm stumped, any ideas?
