I am also crashing also

I am only able to play for approx 20-30 before crashing (if I am lucky). I already reinstalled the the game, manually installed patch 1.1, reinstalled direct X 9c and checked the video drivers. It sure is making the game unplayable for now. I am running a vitsa sytem.

You could try running in Windowed mode, that seems to help some users.
 
I tried running in windowed mode-the game crashed with an error msg.

Here is what I discovered in the error log file

Clausewitz Error[texturehandler.cpp:106]: Couldn't find texture file: gfx\\test\\menu_tiles_1.tga.
Clausewitz Error[texturehandler.cpp:106]: Couldn't find texture file: gfx\\test\\menu_tiles_2.tga.

2 gigs of RAM helps for everything :)

seriously though, windowed mode will use more memory I think. Try a lower window size and see if it worked. If it does I bet it was a memory problem.
 
Still with 1 GB...

decreased res to 1024x768 - in the main menu I still had the "let's jump to the map for a sec" thingy, but after it returned to main menu i could press Single Player and run the game. Played for 5 min (was more less playable) and then the game crashed , windows informed me that there was some error and the application gonna be closed.

error.log this time:

If i only knew that more ram will help;)..stupid computers:/

I can't say for sure, but isnt 1GB the absolute minimum recommended for Vista? in that case it might help.
 
Well, I'm running XPHE with latest updates (no SP3 yet;) ).

But I think I'm gonna get more RAM anyway, regardless if it helps Rome or not. If it doesn't - well, gotta wait till I go home and play on my desktop once in a month :(
