Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition is constantly crashing

All right, so I'm running Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition. My specs are as follows:

AMD Athlon X2 dual core 1.9 ghz, 2 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon X1250 built in GPU, 200 gig hard drive + 250 gig external drive.

Here are the plugins I've got installed:

Everyone has NAM (and I believe I've got the latest version since I only bought Sim City 4 in May of this year)

Every time I'm creating a GLR station that's not on an avenue (all my light rail lines in the current city I'm building are situated on avenues so far) the game just exits. No crash report or anything comes up; Sim City 4 just stops and I'm suddenly back on my desktop.

Any idea what's up? Sim City 4 never used to crash before I started tinkering with the mods on Simtropolis today. The only previous mod I had installed before today was NAM and that worked just fine (although it's difficult to work with).

Were you using the GLR puzzle pieces before it crashed? If you hover over a transit-enabled lot with a puzzle piece (such as a GLR station), the game will crash. It's one of the well-known bugs that comes with the NAM, and as far as I know, there is no solution.

    Yes, I was using the GLR puzzle pieces from NAM. In the track I was trying to set up there was a transition from GLR in avenue to a basic draggable GLR track. The track ended in a loop shortly after the transition. I bulldozed the draggable GLR pieces, put a GLR station down, and tried to put draggable pieces on either side of the new station. Any time I've got a draggable piece selected and get anywhere near the GLR station the game crashes. So with that said it's been impossible for me to create a light rail system outside which has stations that are not "in avenue."

    How do you make a GLR system with stations (apart from the in avenue method which hasn't given me any problems so far) without the game crashing as soon as you move a NAM piece near a station?

    Only thing to do is be very careful. I can't recall having any problems with the draggable GLR when planting stations so long as I didnt touch the station. Just drag it right up to the edge and stop, never touching the lot itself. Doing the same thing with the puzzle pieces should work as well.
