Process Monitor is the tool you seek:

Once you start capturing, it will log huge amounts of info. Use filtering and process tree to get the info you need.
Best of luck!

Tried changing the install directory [removed the (x86)]. Didn't work.
Tried running the game in compatibility mode. Didn't work either.

I'm having trouble running the update fix to see if that helps. Can't seem to figure out how to apply .msu files. I read something about a standalone version of windows update, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Last but not least, I will mess around with the "Process Monitor" logging software, although I'm not quite sure what to look for. Anyone?

.msu files are for Vista and later.

Run Process Monitor and it will start capturing various events triggered by currently running processes - Registry and file access, network activity etc.
Start SFxT and reproduce the problem. Exit SFxT and stop capturing events in Process Monitor (Ctrl + E).
Check if SFxT executable spawns child processes during operation by viewing the process tree (Ctrl + T). Take note of all of them.
Open filtering (Ctrl + L) and start filtering the log by including only the executable(s) involved. Add the following condition:

"Process name" "is" "name_of_SFxT_executable_file.exe" then "Include"
Add additional child processes if there were any, and click "OK".

If the log is still too large, you can include only file operations (I assume that SFxT saves to disk, not to Windows Registry ??? ).
Open filtering again (Ctrl + L) and add additional conditions:
"Operation" "contains" "file" then "Include"

Look for anything suspicious in Result column - ACCESS DENIED etc.

Here's a link with some Process Monitor usage examples:

Has anyone been able to get any further with this?

Haven't had a chance to delve into it further. I did run a monitoring utility briefly (can't recall the name of it at the moment) and I saw a lot of "Access denied" in the .exe file for the game. Which isn't good I suspect.

I'm away on business at the moment. But I will resume once I get back. Any other programming gurus on board to help out?
