Dracula 3, Path of Dragon keeps crashing!

It's weird, because it's been playing with no problems up until now. I am over half way through the game and I'm at the cemetary and just opened Luciana Hartner's grave and took a handful of ashes, but then everytime I try to back out of the scene, it totally crashes to desktop.
Any suggestions?

Are there any Patches for this game? I searched, but didn't find one.

Nevermind....I found a saved game for after that part. No matter what I tried, it just kept crashing there so I couldn't get out of the grave.
Thnx
