FF8 PC Help

[Joseph Styling]

So I'm playing FF8 and at a certain point in the salt lake the game crashes (right when you have to climb some invisible ladder and go through a tunnel).
I've been researching and the forums i visited have been absolutely useless when it came to posting solutions, however some of them have asked for the people with this error to post their saves and they'd get past that point for them and then save in the next save point.
Now, I'd like to ask for someone to do this for me, anyone who has FF8 PC installed on their computer I'd really appreciate it.
Here's the link to my save.

All you have to do is stick this file in:
C:\Program Files\Eidos Interactive\Square Soft, Inc\FINAL FANTASY VIII\Save\Slot1
and load it in game

Thanks in advance.
