    I'm afraid this is rather vague. Perhaps you could record the exact error message the next time? I a couple of suggestions for you, one is quite technical and the another could become very technical.

    * Run scandisk on your harddrives. Include a surface test. This will take a lot of time with exclusive access, so do it overnight or right before you're not going to be using your computer for a while.

    * Download Memtest from memtest.org. Similar to the scandisk, leave it running overnight or when you're leaving your computer, for the same reasons. You can only do one of these two first points at a time, however. If it gets through 10 passes without problems, your memory is peachy and not part of this problem. If it comes up with errors at any point, you have a problem and this is where this one gets very technical. Let's take that after we see if it indeed is a problem.

    * I want you to increase the amount of virtual memory to at least 2GB. There is a good guide for how to do this linked in the installation validation sticky. Ask if you're clueless after reading that.

    * Please run the installation validation and post the results here (using Axifile, Rapidshare or another free hosting service).

    Say it's been a long time since I played EB and I got down on it. I played a new campaign with the KH, everything good no problem until I faced an Epeirote army consisting of 1 unit of Hetairoi Aspidophoroi. I charged them with my Hippeis and guess what? The moment they fired at me with their javelins I got that damn blue screen again... Can you please tell me how to increase my virtual memory? Oh yeah, and I tried another mod (ROP) and when I faced javelin cavalry there was no blue screen... Hope this can finally be fixed, as I want to start a new Makedon campaign and write an AAR. Thnx in advance!

    As said, see the validation sticky for how to increase virtual memory size. Please say which parts you don't understand. I'll have to ask internally about the Hetairoi Aspidophoroi.

    It's not the Aspidophoroi's fault for this, it's javelin cavalry. See what I wrote about Campanians at first? Can you also tell me where I can find the validation sticky? Anyway, I'll see what I can and inform you about my progress.

    EB Validation Tool here.

    Go check out everything on that page. Make sure you download all the permanent 1.0 fixes as well.

    And I saw the tutorial on how to increase virtual memory in the EB validation thread, but it's kind of obscure (have to click a link and go to the third post of the thread) so I linked you to it. Just look at the bottom paragraph of the post.

    Oh, sorry, I forgot all about your first post, it's been a while. Yes, the Campanian cavalry have caused crashes for people. If you don't use them, you'll get past the problem.

    But you're saying that all battles crash, right? Then there has to be something more amiss.
