Can no longer run DiscoveryGC on Windows XP after update

[Hoss]

After the latest patch I am now unable to launch Freelancer.exe from the launcher. The launcher throws the following error message:
The procedure entry point _except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll
Up until now I have been running DiscoveryGC Freelancer on a dedicated Windows XP machine. This is the 32 bit version Service Pack 3.
If anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Hoss
