I insalled it from the CE edition CDRom and the game crashes on me too every now and then. Must be because it was made for DOS originally, or the game is just buggy. I shut down as many background tasks windows will allow and this seems to help a little. I'm running XP with SP1a.
I had a thought, maybe it depends on what chipset your computer has because I was using the Gigabyte K7 Triton Series and the game crashed quite often. Since I changed to the NF3 250 series, the game has been a lot more stable. Mind you this is only a thought.
