I just don't know enough about programming to figure out the following:

-- Why repairing IE resolves the crashes.
-- Why the game is accessing IE when your setting is to use the OOTP browser.
-- Why Win XP and other users did not have the crash, even though the conflict turned out to be with IE and all of us were using the most current versions of IE.

I'm disappointed that Markus is not dipping into the forums much any more and that Steve, Henry, et. al, have not acknowledged that they've seen this thread and will flag Markus' attention.

This crash bug has continued since the game came out and through three patches and everyone quickly blamed Win Me and Win 98 as the culprits and said we needed to drop another $100 to play a game.

It amuses me when people won't accept that you have at least 30 other games and software that has never had an issue or conflict with Win Me -- no matter how crappy the reputation of Win Me.

I'm not in the habit of fixing things that aren't broken or of spending $100 when I don't need to.
