Not necessary. In fact, Shadow of Chernobyl would be a better choice since the game chronology goes like this:
1. Clear Sky (prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl, a separate game with separate storyline)
2. Shadow of Chernobyl
3. Call of Pripyat (direct sequel to Shadow of Chernobyl)

One of the settings you choose fucks the game up the next time it starts I guess. What happens if you don't go in the options at all ?

UAC on/off? if enabled try to run it as administrator.
Also make sure it's up to date what with VC++ redists and DirectX redistributable.
FSGame.ltx should also be set up correctly what with the path it uses for storing information.
(I prefer editing it so settings are stored in the game folder.)
EDIT: Could also try with a shortcut to the exe in the game folder with the line to the exe being unaltered but the one below reading \CallOfPripyat\ instead of \CallOfPripyat\Bin if it has trouble reading the FSGame.ltx file.
(Some people get that issue for some reason.)

I had almost the same problem as yours, turning off fraps fixed it for me. Give it a try if you have fraps running in the background.

Umm, they actually continued the story? I thought that the zone was destroyed when Strelok killed the scientists that were forming the C-consciusness?
How did they do it? Gonna play the game when I get the time, but I don't think that it will happen anytime soon, so I was hoping for a few non story revealing hints.

You will get an explanation in Call Of Pripyat, if you're patient enough 
Personally i had some probs with Dx9, if i switch to 9 instead of 10 i get the "program has stopped working" box instantly after i run the game. Anyone got any clues? Running the 1.6.0.2 russian version with 1.6.0.2 multi lang crack on Win 7 x64, could be the crack but that wouldn't make sense imo.
If you wonder why the hell i would run the game in dx9 instead of 10, it's cause i'm using the AtmoSphere mod and would like to check out the extras they added in their "special" config which needs dx9 for bloom.

I had that too (AtmosFear runs better on DX9) so just go to your Public Docs\STALKER and delete the user.ltx file. The game will load then =)

Yeah i know, thanks for the tip anyhow =)
It doesn't fix the fact that i can't run in dx9 though, guess i'll try with my XP dual-boot later then.

Tried with 1.6.0.0, the russian version works in Dx9 now, gonna have to try a different crack for 1.6.0.2 ( i prefer the russian version with english text since im russian, however been living in Sweden for a long time so my russian reading is a bit slow ;P)
Well atleast we now know: if you've got the russian version with russian 1.6.0.2 don't use the multi crack as Dx9 won't work (Dx10 works like a charm though) ^^
-Edit- Just noticed they added a Russian crack for 1.6.0.2 on GCW, will try that one.

Hm, regarding the graphics being worse than CS, I think it's more due to the more barren landscapes. There are fewer trees, less detail, more dstance between buildings, not as cluttered as the previous games. If this is the price I have to pay for smoother gameplay and bigger zones, I'm happy to pay it.

The readme of the SMRTR mod states it's not compatible with any mod. Does it work with atmosfear? I assume these mods work with the English version?

In the readme of AtmoSfear it says that it has been tested and works with SMRTR, also at the bottom of SMRTR's readme it says it works with AtmoSfear only. So yeah it should be working ^^
Got my CoP working in Dx9 now and damn, Armosfears config makes the game look even more awesome =)

) but hey.. thanks for the vote of confidence <3
Don't we, Sabin ? ^^
Mine kept throwing the error about "XRay Engine 1.6 has crashed" after I changed to DX9. I deleted the user.ltx files and it loaded just fine after that.
