crash to desk

That seems to be a 'common' problem. When I first started playing, I would CRASH at every transition to combat mode, or back to campaign mode.

Rolling back my Nvidia drivers solved the problem. There was a thread about it around here somewhere...

Try it - there is a good chance it will fix your problem.

Yes, but some versions of Nvidia drivers seems to have "issues" with DX9.0c. I use Nvidia drivers version 56.64 with DX9.0c. That works fine.

Exactly - certain NVidia drivers don't deal with certain versions of Direct X correctly. It's definitely worth a shot to roll back your video drivers.

I also rolled back my Nvidia drivers to great effect - much smoother gameplay. However I also experienced the same problem occcasionally. It is always during a large campaign, with lots going on when I have quicksaved often. If I would quicksave and then quickly exit or reload,or end the turn the loading bar would get half way, sound effects would start in the background and then straight to desktop. The save game file gets corrupted this way and seems unsalvageable. The best advice is not to rely on the quicksave and save on the main menu.
