This is not a reply, but to add, I've experienced the same problem. I've visited, microsoft's support page, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303032/en-us, "The game stops responding and/or The game closes unexpectedly."
My computer specifications are:

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 1014MB RAM

DirectX Version: DirectX 10
DxDiag Version: 6.00.6000.16386 32bit Unicode

Any help better then microsoft's useless attempt would be greatly appreciated. Sorry no free coupons or a 1,000 shares in microsoft. Just an undying followership or fan site in your name.

Re: Gears of war crashes

Ok, here's what I did to get it to work:
Go to the folder where gears is installed and then into the binaries folder. Find the startup.exe file and then create a shortcut on your desktop or wherever. Right click and go to properties of the shortcut and click the shortcut tab and then click on the advanced button. Put a checkmark in the "Run as Administrator" box and click OK. You're done! Just start the game from the shortcut and you should be GTG.
