Fair point, I meant to include something about the other games (I have five now, from which you can take it that I like them!)
I have had similar crashes with CWII. However, they don't repeat-you can load the same save game again and it usually works fine. If there is going to be a crash it is invariably when there is a lot of movement going on at turn resolution.
I reloaded the TYW save game I sent you and it worked fine. Did you see that in the zip there was a screenshot of a windows error message? This is the first time I have seen such a specific message, usually I get the stock "has stopped working and needs to close" message.
It's not admin privilege issue because since Vista I've run Windows with full admin privileges and disabled UFC completely (with good consequences for my sanity no bad ones for my computer). Currently I am using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
The other games vary: CWII crashes most often but still not enough to be a problem. RUS and Rise of Prussia have done once each (over hours of play) and EAW has been 100% stable (and I've played that one most). The crashes are an irritant but that's all, none of your games is anywhere near being unstable. It may be my setup of course, can let you have full specs plus dxdiag info if you wanted to investigate.
Regarding the settings issue, please disregard that, I had a problem the first couple of times for some reason, but now the game is starting in the right resolution every time.
I hope this information is some help.
