The problem, for several months now I've hardly been able to play a game thru. PTW games just eventualy at some point stop responding, C3C are more dramatic. Eventually switching to city view is the equivalent of setting off a booby trap. BOOM! DESKTOP! Often attempts to even restart the game blow you to desktop.
I'm 99% certain this all started when I installed a Radeon 9800. Also have a 7000 for backup. Same problem with both. Formerly used a 9200 without all this grief and an INVIDIA before that. I contacted Atari Tech. I updated every driver that could be involved. My modding style seems to play a factor. I like LOTS of production. So I'll mod vanilla games and I'll mod other mods, which seems to make them prone to this problem. But it's not consistent. I'm running a game of the Fantasy Empires mod that I molested and it's solid as a rock!
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

(running on XP SP2, C3C patched to v1.22, current audio/video drivers). Every game I try to play, around turn 10 or so...PHZZZZFPPH...crash to desktop 
. Tried uninstall/reinstall game, double-checked drivers to no avail. Hoping for a solution, but am about to resign myself to playing GalCiv until CivIV makes its appearance.
