Random crashes when going to research screen

[TripH]

The game randomly crashes when I'm at the gesture schreen and go down. The research screen does in fact show up, but then crashes immediatley. This is completely random and maybe occurs ~1/20th of the times I try to access the screen.
Additionally, Windows gives an error message which I've seen quite a lot on Windows 2000 systems when it comes to 3D Games. Unfortunatley I couldn't make a screenshot of it, but it said something about a specific memory slot where the action "written" could not be performed at.
I wouldn't relate this last error as being 100% Darwinia specific, because, as I said, it also happens with other games too, although game developers occasionaly actually fix this in a patch. I hope this happens again, so I can submit a screenshot, here's the blackbox for now:

If you have admin access, have a look at event viewer. Under applications. There should be a entry for application error or darwinia.exe and whats in the info box should be what you saw on the error box.

If you are using XP you can just press ctrl+c and it copies the error message to the clipboard.

Additionally, Windows gives an error message which I've seen quite a lot on Windows 2000 systems when it comes to 3D Games.

I think that line proves he's using win2k.

[Hektik sniper]

Erm, i should read more. It might work on 2k though, havent tested it myself.

Yeah, I actually thought I had taken a screenshot, but when I pasted it into some graphics program it was gone. Oh well. It also doesn't show up in the Event viewer, I guess I configured something wront (Verbosity settings or whatever).
I'm a convinced linux user, so I'm not that familiar with that windows stuff.
