Again and again.

Can anyone please tell me if there is something to be done against those frequent shutdowns I've been having lately? Last time, I was trying to move my troops by ship when suddenly the game shuts down and I'm back to Windows. (Without saving of course, I can't save every minute.) This keeps occuring more and more. (generally twice a week.) I bought the game six months ago and never had the problem up to now.


I have a 1.2 version of HOI2, directx 9 and a Windows XP

Well following my standard advice will cut down on any CTDs.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
4) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.
