As soon as I try to configure the controls it collapses to the desktop.
Hopeless.

What are your system specs? I have the demo and it runs great! Check the
included readme file for clues and suggestions.

Try unplugging any game controllers or joysticks. Apparently they cause
havoc on the full blown version.

He's right, you know...

"Thief: Deadly Shadows crashes every time I try to change the
controls.
This problem is usually caused by a gamepad or joystick being plugged
into the system. Since Thief: Deadly Shadows does not officially support any
type of game controller, it can cause the game to crash. You will need to
unplug your game controller, and restart the game. You should then be able
to change the controls without problems."

I get a funny error. When I pick a lock my Dual-shock PS/2 controller
vibrates. It spooked me out the first time I seen it.
