    Hi. I recently bought Battle for Middle Earth II and it's a really fun game, but the game has been randomly crashing. It doesn't happen every game, but probably half of the games I've played crashed. I'll be playing for about 30 min, and the game will suddenly minimize and the computers resolution will change to the size like when it's in safe mode, and I get this error message.

    (I took a picture because I had to restart my computer, so I wasn't able to take a screenshot)

    My computer is fully capable of playing the game, I have a Asus W3J, with 1.83 GHz core duo, x1600, and 1 GB of ram.

    I posted this here, instead of a BFME forum because I think it might be a graphics driver problem, or a directx problem, not a problem with the game. I have the latest versions of catalyst drivers (6.6) and directx.

    Does anyone have any details about whats wrong or how to fix it?

    Thanks for the reply, I'll try increasing the page file and see if that works.

    Do you have the lastest patch (v1.04)? Or do you have many applications running in the background? Try deleting the unessary ones to free up memory.
