I can't seem to keep Starlancer running for more then approx. 30 minutes in Windows XP. Any Ideas?

I wouldn't bother changing the compatability mode. Starlancer works fine here on stock under XP, but saying that it may work for you.

What I would do is the following...

1) Turn off 3d sound completely in the Starlancer Options, then exit the program.
2) Go into Control Panel/Sounds&Multimedia/The Audio Tab/ and click the Advanced button.
3) Then select the Performance Tab and move the Hardware Acceleration Slider one notch to the left of Full (This will not allow any non-standard Dx calls to be made to your Sound Card, as your Sound Card may only be able to handle standard Dx calls - hence the crashes when it gets a non-standard Dx call).
4) Reboot your computer and fire up Starlancer.
