Game crashes when opening /map.

Every time that I open my /map or simply look at a map through my Journal my client crashes. It's getting really frustration because I cannot even see where I'm going.

Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks.

same problem , 2 threads open , see Crash and Crash part 2

Had LS mate with same issue until he realized he was behind on his Vid card driver updates. So check to make sure your cards(s) are up to date.

Date & Time: Anytime after the latest Patch update

Frequency: Opening the map always crashes my client every time.

Area and Coordinates: I am currently in Gridania's starting area with my level 1 character.

This is very frustrating, I have played on my character on someone else's computer and it's running just fine. I was able to open map through the quest page or by pressing M.
My System Specifications
Operating System:
Windows 2.6.0.6002 (Service Pack 2)
CPU Type:
Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
CPU Speed:
2.68 GHz
System Memory:
5.99 GB
Video Card Model:
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

Everything is up to date and I have cleaned my registry 5 minutes ago, and it's still crashing when I press M. I was not having such problem before patch 1.19 when I was playing in Limsa Lominsa area and was able to check map.

Please help! Thanks in advance!
