Default Graphics "stop" when playing Caesar IV

Hi,

When I am playing Caesar IV (on medium-low graphics setting with a 125 MB ATI Radeon X300/X500 and a Pentium D processor.

My game crashes maybe after few minutes, maybe after an hour. When it crashed, it used to freeze up the entire computer. When I rebooted it suggested downloading the latest display driver. Which i did. Now, when it crashes, I can go to the desktop and ATI will ask me to send an error report.

This has never ever happened to any other games because of my graphics card, even with newer ones released in 2007. Whereas Caesar IV was released in 2006 requiring A Pentium 4 and I think it needs a 64 MB graphics card.

Hi
Look in the games video settings for the option to turn off shadows. Try that and see if it now works.

I have everything set to minimum, including the shadows.
