I forgot to mention that I might have found a fix for the Map Editor crashing 
I don't think the problem is an incompatibility with DirectX because I have run SoM on DirectX9 machines that don't crash.
It's a hardware conflict with the acceleration on modern video cards. A lot of older games have the exact same problem.
Anyways, right-click on desktop and go to properties > settings > advanced > troubleshoot and turn 'Hardware Acceleration' down 2-3 notches (or as many as are needed) and apply.
Just don't forget to turn it back up before you try to play Crysis, FarCy2 or such.
