I recently started playing SC4 again after 6 months or so, but periodically the game crashes to the desktop, no error message. Some system information: 3.2GHz Pentium 4 1GB memory, pagefile set to 4GB fixed GeForce 6800GT, 97.92 drivers Audigy 2 ZS sound card When a crash happens 2 items appear in the event log, but they don't give much information. The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 6.quote>The second message is identical except it says 7 at the end instead of 6. Some other information: Tried video drivers 84.56, 93.71, and 97.92 Removed all plugins Defragmented the drive and pagefile Does not create an Exception Report in My Documents\SimCity 4\Exception Reports Tried various ingame options Average of 30 minutes between crashes Occurs even if I pause the game and walk away from the computer Happened at the region view once as well US version of SC4 and Rush Hour, newest update installed Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Odd, windowed mode is working now. However, even running windowed it still crashes to the desktop after a while.

The 30 minutes was an average. It has been as little as 10 minutes, as long as 2 hours. I shutdown everything in the background except Windows services and such. I'm not sure if it is related, but the -w option to run in a window also doesn't work for me. It generates an exception report if I use it.

It happens when using software rendering as well. I also updated my sound card drivers, still crashes.
