Hello,

I've posted this thread, even thought I believe you won't be able to help me. I've installed two different versions of CK on my computer in the last few days, and nothing seems to work.

The game (and my computer with it) freezes inexplicably somewhere in the second year of the game, no matter the scenario and nation I'm playing or the version of the game.
I.e.: I was playing Nubia a couple of minutes ago, v. 1.0, somewhere around september 26, 1067 the music stopped playing, the cursor and my keyboard froze, and I had to restart. Yesterday, I tried county of Lubeck, 1.5, december 30, 1068, all dead.

I own a 1.9 ghz comp with 256 mb ram. Currently I have around 5 gigabytes of space on it, and I'm using windows XP. My direct X version is 9.something.

Hvae no idea what to do, please help if it happens to be related to the game at all, and not a problem caused by some virus (as there are a couple running amok on this computer).
 
Been happening alot to me recently to. Haven't really tried to figure it out. It's probably something to do with my computer config's but I'm replacing this heap soon anyway so not terribly worried. But yea. I load up and play and I can usually get a year or 2 in before the lockup happens. So then I reload and keep going and reload again when it stops. Annoying but I'm too lazy to fix it. :p

Whatever is causing it though locks up the entire computer and none of the general troubleshooting solves it besides a reset.
 
Complete freeze-ups should theoretically never happen nowadays :) - at most, some problem with the game is interacting badly with some hardware/driver/OS problem. Are any other games being flaky? Could one of the fans in your system have died, causing an overheating problem as CK stresses the CPU?
