Hi,
Somewhere I read a post about DW Bradley himself explaning something about crashes, but now I can't find it anymore.
There seems to be a problem with the windows swap file being too small, so set it to at least 300Mb, or if it's not fixed size make sure the harddisk has the same space available.
Sometimes bringing the resolution down to 640x480, or switching to software mode will help.
Further generic advice: make sure you have the latest drivers for your hardware, close all other programs when running W&W, check for virusses but then disable the background scanning.
Note also that programs that pop up, like schedulers, agenda's etc. will let the game crash too, because the game can't cope with going to the background.
