Game crashes can be caused by a bajillion things, first off we need all your computer specs.

Have you previously ever played any 3d games with intense 3d graphics?
If yes we can move on to more invloved questions.

I for instance find the game beyond my machine. I often have games crap out on me just because my video card is just not up to it.

Have you right-clicked on the game start icon and selected specific values to get windows to give the program the:

1) compatibility that it needs
2) startup and run memory.

The odd time for some video cards I have found that if you adjust the desktop resolution say down form 1280 to 1024by760 or even 800 by 600 some otherwise non-cooperative programs do suddenly behave.

A twit in my building with behaviorial troubles would beat up on his computer and shout obscenities in his best:surprise: English [he is from the Atlantic Coast and judging by his choice of expletives he didn't graduate from elementary school however after much pain the game did run]

I don't think he will help us much though.:D

The last thing to try is update your drivers and verify that the hardware acceleration for your vid card is set to minimum specs.

How is your SPWAW PBeM going?

I had a similar problem, actualiced my drivers but obtained nothing... With a new Grafic card it was OK, but it was illogical.
