Crashing to Desktop on Multiplayer Fix with Skywing's CE

Alright, I thought I would explain my situation for future reference.
I got a new laptop and installed Win7 64bit. I installed Neverwinter Nights Complete (OEM just NWN2). I did various tweaks and installed dotnet redist and such (I assume you know what you need if you get this far). I tested to see if I could run in single player and all went well.
I copied my old NWN2 folder in my documents. I installed the client extension (ClientExtension.hdl and NWLauncher.exe) into the installation folder. When I tried to direct connect, I crashed. I tried to connect the other way, and I got the cannot connect to server message.
To fix I opened the installation folder and changed the compatibility settings of the NWLauncher to XP Service Pack 3.
