One suggestion I have would be to click that toggle switch on the mxo launcher to have the system do a check of your mxo folders to make sure you have everything in order.
Other than that or reinstalling the game again, I don't know what else to tell you to try. I had this issue before with another game and there was one hidden file that was causing it. Once I replaced that file, it fixed it. So, hopefully doing a system check will fix whatever file might be bugged.
It's still possible your processor can't handle the game. I think that the min requirements is at least 1.0ghz.
Good luck!

I'm having this problem too, and upgrades are not the issue.
I'm experiencing it with a Vista machine that is not only very powerful, I'm advanced enough to know which services I should/shouldn't disable for gaming. Everything runs beautifully on the machine except MxO: sometimes I can get MxO to run for an hour or two before I'm staring at my wallpaper, sometimes it's CTD'ing every 5 minutes. I'll run it out-of-the-box or lean and mean, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Nor can I find any Events--when MXO crashes, nothing is logged.

dual 3.0 GB/s SATA 2 HDs - one for OS, one for the game

Sounds like it may be a Vista issue:

You know, the means of delivery just might be it, too. I've done a full system check, but I'll try it again, just to see if it runs the same way twice. :-/
But you could install MXO 3 ways, and at least two of them use different folder paths, if not all three:
I've used the launcher on other machines without problems (one should note that in Vista you MUST run the Launcher as Administrator, every time).
When I get time, I'll try an uninstall, reinstall from my ol' CD-ROMs, and see if that makes a difference.
Generally speaking, the Station Launcher causes more problems than anything else, as there is a lot of issues with the files it generates and the running of the game... I'd say play around with the settings of that before going nuts with a full install. Try doing a delete of the Station Launcher files and making it do a full install from there.
If you still have the same problem, it might be with the version of Station Launcher that actually installed on your PC. Oddly enough, there are errors in the Launchers install files for itself, so often a re-install of that solves game issues...
oh the joys of a beta product
