Hello All, When I start up SimCity 4 Deluxe, it all runs fine, untill I get building on my city. Once it gets to a smallish size, randomly, the game completely freezes up, and then the only way to exit is to shut off my computer. I have tried updating to 1.272, but it just complains about Old files not found, but I got the one for my region. And so I have come here to ask for some help because this is one of my favorite games, and having to restart my computer every time I play it gets pretty annoying. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so how may I over come it? My Sys. Specs: Intel Core Duo E4500 @ 2.4 GHz ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 1 GB VRAM 3 GB RAM 2046 MB- 4092MB Virtual Memory 500GB HDD Windows XP Professional SP 3 Thanks, DucksofGrass P.S. The core fix only delayed the problem, it now occuring at around 3000 people, so I have no clue what's causing it to freeze...

Nope, nothing, still crashing into the wall of frozen-ness

Do elaborate, what IS a cold start?

Really, again? i get shoved down to the botttom, and no one has a speck of insight on this? this is ridiculous! Al I wanted to do is play this game.

My desktop runs at 1600x1050 and so does the game

Ok then, I have that. And it didn't help. At all. But thanks for trying... Does anyone know whats going on...
