Well, after everything loads, the windows pop up, but instantly go away. Is there any way I can fix this? I tried turning bump on low, but it didn't work.

Also, Im trying to run it on my brand new Alienware M17x, on Windows 7 home premium.
The game itself runs very smoothly with all settings maxed out though...

Ah, you got to admire microsoft. Only they could create an OS that's compatible with only 8% of its programs. Since I myself use vista (yeah, my XP broke), I would suggest running it as an admin/in XP compatibility mode.

What didn't work ? The game crash again now ? Or you can't apply the bumpmapping to low ?

Open your system.ini in your save folder in gamedata.

Scherch 2 lines with :

Bumpmapping

There are two valors : True and 2

Turn them to False and 0

And save ;)
