I really love the game, but the lockups and crashes have made it unplayable. I was getting in about 3-5 turns before a crash/lockup, but today I downloaded the Collector's Edition Jewelry etc. and now I can't get through more than a turn without a lockup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My Nvida graphics drivers are dated Dec 2005 but they weren't released until Feb 2006. According to Nvida, they are the latest drivers for my Windows XP MCE system. I tried the later release dated April 2006 for Windows XP, but I didn't see any improvement. Here is my Debug ERR file:
