Optimal setup to prevent crashes

[spoil]

I've seen a lot of different advice on how to prevent crashes on p99. Currently I'm running the game in compatibility mode (xp service pack 3) and using WinEQ (mainly for gamma correction). Most of my crashes have been loading into the game which is annoying but tolerable, but occasionally during play and last night I had a reset device failure in Howling Stones and that's almost always going to be a RIP when playing my enchanter.

I read that a program dgvoodo? may solve that particular problem but doesn't work with WinEQ. Anyone have experience with that or has found a good system to stop the crashes? The crashes when zoning, camping, etc. I can live with, just trying to not to get myself killed in a dungeon basement and then have to wait who knows how long to hopefully get a rez. I know I'll have to eat a few deaths and the game is never going to run perfectly, just wondering what experienced players are doing right now to minimize it.
