The error log is in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/logs
Where is the crash happening? Do you have a save?
I'm in the same situation ; here is the application error event information I retrieved from the event viewer :

Here is my DxDiag. Thanks for answering that fast ! Oh, by the way, I deactivated the trees to lessen the burden on my aging rig, and checked for the latest drivers...

I'm also getting a CTD during playing the game. It keeps happening at a similar point when I reload the last autosave. The application error from the event viewer is:

Let me know if you need any more info.
Hmm, still seems like your drivers are out of date though, your dxdiag says they were last updated 10/3/2009...

Very rarely, a CTD occurs when I click on the Realm Tree icon on the character screen. It's only happened twice now, so I don't know if that's enough to actually warrant a bug.
