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.

Please also tell me what your system specs are.
 
Assuming you have tried everything I have suggested and are still having troubles then:

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.
 
Well the good news is you do not have the VIA chip set so do not have those problems.

Your video card driver is out of date, try updating that July 7, 2004 is the current one.

Other than that I know people have also removed some leaders they never use such as the numerous low stat generals, You have enough memory so I do not get why you are having this problem though.
