Distribute new unit CTD

[Von Lippe]

Help! I'm running 1.06c, and every once in a while (seems totally random) when I go to the production screen to place new units on the map, it CTD's. It happens when I click on a unit's icon. Screen goes blank, then I get a "Send error report to Microsoft?" message. Regardless, it dumps me to the desktop.

Anyone know the solution to that one?

Okay let's try some standard things.
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.

Will give this a try this weekend. Like I said before, it seems totally random, so it may be a dozen (game) years before it happens again

I have been experiencing the exact same CTD today, for the first time in about 50 hours of playing the game-- when attempting to place newly-built units on the map I crash to desktop. Consistantly.
Did you find a solution?

I assume you have tried the things I have suggested, you may also want to check with the Bug forum to see if they have identified anything.
