yet another crashing problem

time killer · #1 10-11-2006, 03:53 PM

i am have similar crashing problems as others. the game has crashed at several different times in the game, but seems related to opening trade centers. as soon as the trade center is placed and i click on the trade center to change my trading status, the game locks up.

i have to pull the plug on my machine (ctrl + alt + delete does not work).

as many have stated before, this is aggravating! i play when i have extra time and do not want to waste time dealing with this mess! some help please!

here is my dxdiag log

Hello time killer,

as your Ati Catalyst 6.3 does not seem to get the game going why not try the Catalyst 6.9 ?

(yes, and the model DM051 appears quite often i have noticed)

i updated my ati catalyst to 6.9

the game is still crashing when i click "close" on any of the messages

Have you tried waiting a little longer before you close the message?

You could try the Catalyst 6.5

The Dell system model DM051 seems to be the Dell Dimension E510

Go into game setings-interface- click on all the items under the pause setting. That should stop the message crash problem it did for me.

(I still read System Model: Dell DM051 in time killers dxdiag)

That is because DM051 is the BIOS code for the Dimension E510. I've searched a little more and found the same BIOS code is used for the Dimension 5150 so they are using the same motherboard.

There's a list here at Dell (hope the link works):

Timekiller has either a Dimension E510 or 5150.

thank you

No problem. I just hate how one often has to search for half hours or more for info at Dell if the system is just a tiny bit old, it's almost like they are trying to hide what it actually is they are selling.
