Yeah, I have two 1GB sticks of ram and a 256 stick. Oh yeah, I forgot to put that I do have XP SP2. As for virtual, I don't know. I just looked it up in my computer system properties and that's what it gave me. I've checked my video card settings and it's all checked for application selected. For version of the game, I've tried pre-update and updated and still get the same problem. I guess you're right. I'll just have to chalk it up to outdated games. My machine refuses to play Dungeon Keeper 2 and Magic the Gathering also. God I miss those games.

System: Alienware m7700 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 Geforce 6800 256 MB Video 2056 Virtual Memory settings 2.25 GB RAM Version: Sim City 4 Classic with RH expansion CD No background applications running. Registry optimated. Lots of hard disk space All drivers and DirectX up to date. I play games like Prey and Doom 3 with graphics set on their highest settings and no problems. My SC4 keeps crashing to the desktop. Sometimes I can play for an hour at a time, sometimes for only 15 minutes. It seems random. My system seems to run it fast and flawlessly until the random crash happens. City size seems to have nothing to do with it. It crashes when I have 1000-6000 sims. It may be the zoom issue I've seen other people talking about, but those topics seem to be solved by removing plugins. Since I have none installed nor used in my saved city, maybe it's not. I have removed all plugins from the My Documents folder. Still crashes. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and tried without the online update. Still crashes. I've taken off shadows (even though I shouldn't have to). Still crashes. I really miss this game and now that I have a much better system to run it, I can't. Can anyone please help me?
