Sooooo, I think I'm all good. I'll confirm tomorrow when I have more energy though.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to provide a bit more info....
I had not booted up OOTP in a while. At the start of tonight, when I went to boot OOTP up for the first time in a while, I was running NVidia GeForce driver 572.42 and the game obviously did crash.
I rolled back to 572.16 and the game was still crashing. Which based on other posts here it sounds like it was doing that for everyone.
I then made the sky_box change while still rolled back to 572.16 and upon doing that all seemed to start working again.
I then updated the driver back to the current 572.42 version and all still seems to be working fine with the sky_box change. So the point of this post is I think as long as you make the sky_box change you can be on the current 572.42 version.
As mentioned in my previous post, I'm out of energy for the evening so I haven't played too much since making the sky-box fix, but the fact that I am actually able to get into a game now has me on the assumption that all is good.
Tomorrow I'm going to give it a heavier run and see how it goes. If you don't hear back from me, all is good =)
As for tonight though, it's time to hit the whiskey.
