Do what the troubleshooting FAQ says to do.

Well, that's pretty informative. Pretty much defines your problem.

From your post, you have yet to follow the instructions posted in it.

If that does not work, try a clean bare bones install, you will need a spare hard drive. Disconnect your current drive and hook up the spare. Install your OS on the spare drive and nothing beside the required drivers to run the game and the game itself. Nothing else at all and see how it runs then. If it does not run, you likely have a hardware issue such as memory, cpu, etc.

Yes I changed the correct line in the .ini
Still no luck... and I dont have another hard drive or another Os.

UT.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close: A crash right at launch.

Solution: If using ATI hardware, ensure "Support DXT Texture Formats" in the Catalyst Control Centre is enabled (3D --> More Settings).
Solution: If using ATI hardware, in the utengine.ini set the following values:
