Just happened to me again, too. I patched the game yesterday, and per the newsletter did so again today before starting it up.
Situation: Bottom of 9th, bases loaded, 1 out, my star "bunt-for-sac" guy at the plate. Successful squeeze and crash to desktop. I was playing the league leader too and could've used the win.
System:
OS: Windows 2000 (fresh and updated)(in as admin)
CPU: AMD XP 1700+
RAM: 256 MB PC 2100
Hard Drive: 3.89 GB free
DirectX: 8.1 (but both graphics options are off)
Video Card: ATI All-In-Wonder Pro (Rage Pro chip)
Let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks!
Keith
