You can probably squeeze more out of a homebuilt than a prebuilt.
It seems I've got a problem:
Spoiler :
Immediately following the AI's turn, the tech change occurs, right? After Democracy (as seen in the bottom right) I advance to the industrial age. But instead the game crashes. This is not a bug with the scenario, it happens in epic games too. So it has to be a problem with something else.
Any ideas guys?

I recently installed DivX player on my vista x64 desktop. Ever since, playing video in any program causes the computer to crash, about 2 seconds into the video playing. It is also crashing when the power-saving feature automatically shuts off the monitor. Rolling back the display driver didn't make any difference.
help meeeeeeeeee
According to my experience, If i run a graphics-intensive program on a desktop, the computer will freeze and I have to force a reboot. However, if I run the same program on a laptop with similar specs, I will instead get an error message, and the program closes instead of freezing the computer.
Is this generally true when it comes to computers?

It doesn't matter. The desktop will still freeze, the laptop will still make the error message.Check that you have the newest graphics and main board drivers installed.
What is the error message, what are the various drivers, what are the specs? Is one system running a different OS? I know that Windows 7 (and to a degree, Vista) recover from driver crashes fairly well, while XP just bombs.
Yeah, I was referring to old Dell desktops and laptops I used to have, both of which had XP. Since using my current two laptops, one with 32 bit Vista and the other with 64 bit Vista, I've only had to deal with such crashes just a few times, unlike repeatedly like with the old XP Dell computers. I forget what most of the specs were, but the laptop was eventually upgraded to have 2 gigs of RAM.What is the error message, what are the various drivers, what are the specs?

I've seen that a number of times with my old XP machines. Haven't seen that on my current laptops.Yeah, that was one of the issues I had to deal with. My XP machine... the drivers would crash minimum once a month. Eventually it got to the point where I could completely remove and reinstall the graphics driver in 5 minutes flat, not including installation time.
On Vista, Ive actually seen the graphic driver crash once (overheating) and then recover itself without a reboot. It was ... interesting.
