Errors from bugs in the code almost always manifest as a crash to desktop with a popup saying which instruction in memory is the problem. Freezing or bluescreening is very likely to be a hardware problem. Bad or old drivers, hardware problems or conflicts, etc.
We will continue to try and help you guys out with these problems. It's a bit hard with this one to give you suggestions because the only info on the problem we have is that it freezes randomly. You can see why that would be hard to pin point. Be patiant and hopefully we will be able to get a solution for you.

You understand, of course, that we're just so darned anxious to play this HIGHLY rated game that we're a bit disappointed when it crashes. That said, many of the people on this thread do seem to be getting the crash notice from Windows XP, myself included. I've even seen someone post screen shots of the crash message.
If there's anything we can do to help debug this issue other than complain on this forum and hit the little button that reports the crash to Microsoft, please let us know. I would be very willing to help if it means getting to continue playing the rest of the game. Right now I get kicked out of the game within 30 seconds of loading my last saved game.
Thanks.
