Instant freeze as soon as I save.

 Hey guys, need a bit of help with my Deluxe Edition of Sim City 4.

I purchased it a few weeks back but finally got around to installing it this week, the game installed fine and I encountered no problems playing the game. 

However as I clicked to save my progress the game froze instantly and I was unable to call up the task manager. So my only choice was to directly turn the laptop off. I've tried a this a couple of times and it always freezes as soon as I attempt to save. I'm not too good with computers so any help would be great.

Here are my specs;

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1 Build)
• Intel Core 2 Duo CPU  T7500 @ 2.20GHz
• 1GB Ram
• NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 135M (256MB)

Have you installed the mandatory update to build 638?  There is a link to it in one of the stickies.

If you intend to download and use any of the newer lots, you will also need the update to build 640 which can also be found there.

You can also get them from the EA site after you have registered your game.

I managed to install this update and it seems to have solved the problem, fingers crossed.

Thanks for the help I appreciate it.
