Ive been playing the game but suddenly sometimes when I am playing right when I click a button for an event or press ok for a diplomatic deal the game crashes to the desktop. I dont have any anti virus software on either.

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Make sure you have the latest patch for the game.
2) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
3) Set the color depth to 16BIT
4) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
5) Run a Virus check and a Adware/Spybot checker
6) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-4.

I will do that right now and Ill edit this post to tell you what happens. Thanks.
 
Okay, but make a new post so I will know you have updated.
 
1) I have 1.3A, only ever installed 1.3A
2) I renamed avi to AVI_Back
3) I changed it to 16bit, it was 32 before.
4) Yep
5) System clean of virus's and adware
6) Ok I did that they were all updated already.

I cant play the game right now, I will when I get home and Ill see if it works out. Thanks again, but dont lock the thread just yet.
 
I never lock threads unless there is a problem of going Off Topic.
Let me know how th etest goes.
 
Alright it didnt work, it crashed and I was only playing an hour and an half but I wasnt even playing really. All I was doing was letting the game run I was testing it then I went into diplomacy and there is that black screen that goes and it crashes to desktop.
 
Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.

Okay first thing I notice is you did not perform step 6, your video driver is WAY out of date, it is more than a year old. That is ancient for drivers.
 
I did update my video card, maybe I didnt but can you tell me how I would accomplish this seeing as you said I didnt do it.

BTW My video card is fine for all my other games including recent games like call of duty 2. I just dont see how my video card is a problem. But maybe I am an idiot, so again how do I update it?

ok let me take a crack at this..

First download the latest driver for your video card

Then uninstall your current driver.. go to control panel and click the remove/add programs and choose to remove the driver for your video card.

Then reboot and install the new driver you downloaded..

If/when pc detects your video card after the reboot, just ignore it and when entered windows install that newly downloaded driver.
 
Let me know if that does not work for you, you can run another Dxdiag and verify it install correctly, Latest Patch is Feb 9,2006.
 
You don't, so that is not an issue, if you did not have the version you have now it would have been the fist thing I asked you to update to.
