Caravel CTD

[BigP]

Hey everyone,
long time lurker, first time poster. I wish it were on a happier note. I'm having a problem with caravels in the middle ages. It seems that as I approach a particular continent with any caravels, the game crashes. Just as I see another civ's city - boom, the game goes kaputt.
Obviously this ruined the game I was playing so I started a new one and the same thing happened a few hours into the game. Very frustrating to say the least. I have attached an image of the error message I keep getting. Has anyone else experienced this and more importantly, does anyone have any suggestions? BTW, I'm running the 3.02 and Solver's patches.

Thanks in advance.

A save file would help much more than a screenshot.

This is the save file. There are 2 caravels around the central-northern continent. If either approaches the coast - pow, game dead. I'm running XP Pro, all graphics drivers/DirectX/etc. fully up to date. I've tried a reinstall. No luck.
Can someone try this save on their machine?

Much appreciated.
