Whenever I decide to call it a day and quit playing Civ, the game freezes. I always click the "exit to desktop" button and then the game freezes and I can't do anything except switch the power off of my computer.

Also, whenever I click "check the updates" button the game freezes and the whole computer freezes. Ctrl+alt+del doesn't work, nothing works except plugging off the damn computer.

In fact, I can't get out of Civ at all without a damaging reboot. When the game freezes in-game, the same thing happens.

Anyone else have these sort of problems? It's really starting to annoy and worry me.

Ps. Alt+tab doesn't work for me when I play Civ. Does it work for you? Are these problems related?
 
Yeah, I have had the same symptoms after the patch but a when I retire from a game. Exit to desktop is OK though. I've had most of the problems mentioned over the last few weeks. I finally got the game working with the patch but now have low memory problems and the freezes. I am about to give up on this game I think. If FM2006 gets its (needed and awaited) patch soon I'll definately be off.
