In two seperate game that I have played (one as Turkey the other as finland) this problem has occured: I build a air unit i.e a fight or dive bomber. When the air unit is assigned, it is a infantry icon on the map! And when I attemp to involve it in an attack, computer crashes! I have yet to complete a game without some kind of problem causing a crash or the game to freeze. I have new (current) drivers, and all Microsoft updates, and I have turned off the music. All these were suggested by Tech support. What is the problem? I'd just like to play a complete game at this point. Any help greatly appreciated. :(

Requested Game specs

Publisher is Strategy First/Paradox. CD #24144. Windows 98 OS with all updates, Radeon 7000 w/ Catalyst 3 drivers.

I've had another problem that may be conected to this, If I try to click on the autosave fo a game in which this has happened, I get the follow window on my screen

Critical Error: (unknown)
Surfacedetectioncapability=2.000Line= 83253file = Scenarios\save game\autosave.eug

I have not attemped to play games on auto save since I installed driver updates. Last night after this happened I waited for aboubt 7-10 minutes after attempting to return to game lost via autosave and gave up. Really starting to lose heart, invest time playing, and unable to finish. Thanks for your help!

Please inform me as to if you need more information

My problem is the opposite. To the right, on unit composition the icon is the correct air unit. On the map, it's and infantry unit, with appropriate infantry sounds. And once engaged in an attack...freeze or crash!...sigh!
