random crashes in game.

from Stardock Forums
I am experienceing random crashes at various stages of the game. It does not appear to be tied to any particular action.

winME
amd 1.33ghz
512mb ram
gforce 2. nvidia reference drivers
Soundblaster live ( original )
drivers were up to date as of last month.


Anyone else with this problem? please post system stats in your replies.

This is after you've attempted to exit the game. As soon as the game crashes, you need to copy the debug.err file and either post it here or e-mail it to me along with a description of what was going on, to the best of your knowledge.
