What version of the game(publisher whos logo will be on the CD) and patch level are you using?
Do you have any mods installed?
 
Make sure the basics are still being used and install the latest patch 106B :
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=155064

Basics.
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.
 
Well there is some bug fixes, what was going on in your game between the date the autosave loaded and then when the games was trying to autosave and crashed?
 
You may want to take a look through the Bug forum to see if they have anything to do with save game crashes, if they do then there maybe a work around where you can edit the save and continue to play.

Also there are actually two autosave files, autosave and autosaveold I think.
So the oldone may still load for you, you could try to play past the point where the game crashes by playing another nation, then switch back. That sometimes works.
Or you could try a manual save every couple of days to try and pinpoint where the problem occurs.
 
Great I am glad you were able to continue that game.
 
That is too bad, the game must have become corrupted whiched caused the save to crash. Most often cause of something like that is a big take over of provinces.
Good luck with the new patch and happy hunting. :)
 
1.06 you just need to run from anywhere you Dled it to.
1.06B needs to be extracted to your HOI folder so it can overwrite the existing files.

Yes you can delete the AVI folder.
 
Don't extract it from the web. Download it like a normal file then extract it from your Harddrive like you would any other file you wanted to unzip or unRAR.
 
Setting them both the same cannot hurt.
But makes sure the 3 things listed in my post #4 of this thread are still being followed.
