Hello Akahoshi,
unfortunately I cannot see the error message that you tried to supply, please write down the exact text and post it here. If I understand it correctly, your game crashes when combat is resolved, e.g., when a barbarian animal attacks you? Or does it crash when you finish the game?

you could have a bad copy of the game (very unlikely but could be the culprit). you could also have a problem with your video card/byos or some sort of computer part. other than that, I really can't think of why it would do that. I do know however where to update your video card:
for nVidia:http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
ATI:http://www.ati.com/
as far as byos links go, I don't know the main companies out there. you could check with a techy. If you are a techy yourself, you might know more than me. Hope I could be of some help!

Im supprised you even got the game to play with that. It doesn't meet the requirements.

You should check for driver updates for it and make sure you have the patch installed.

hmmmmm.......well I did some sloothing around and I found this:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&os=228&product=424215〈=en&softwareitem=pv-24969-2
This is a link to an update page for that. When I first got the game, I had a total blackout kind of problem going on...and so I got my byos updated, and I switched my copy for a different one. It worked! I am telling you now: updating your byos is risky! I got a pro to do it. It costs money, but is reliable. The main reason it's risky is because if you get the WRONG update and use it, it will corrupt the motherboard, and then you'll need a new motherboard. You could also try running a full system scan with whatever anti-virus/spyware/adware/trojan program you have, because it could just be a virus having fun slowly torturing your computer (unlikely but a possibility).
I do not know much about the particular card your using, but I do know you could probably do with a better one.
When I was sloothing I found a few chat messages that you may want in on to help with your problem.

At the end of a game, there should be a movie. Perhaps you've got a problem with movies. Try to disable them.
