When does it lock up? I have a problem where the game seems to lock up after ... oh .. 15-30 minutes of playing. Most of the time it's when I hit the 'Turn' button, but not always. I have to reset my computer, too. Crappy on-board SB AudioPCI with an ATI 9000 Pro video card., under WinME. Pooks

I am having an identical problem; periodically the game will freeze (actually, the machine locks up). It had happened only after I hit 'Turn', but then last night it happened once after I hit 'Done' ('Close'? I can't remember) on a planet window. All three times were hard freezes that required cycling the machine. I run ME, P3-933, plenty of disk space available, 512MB ram, ATI 9000 Pro with latest drivers, on-board SB.... not sure what other info to provide.

'Nuff questions. I plan to buy through downloading just because I want to s
