In my Swiss sandbox last night, I had recurrent CTD when I tried to recruit. Switzerland doesn't start with a standing army, of course, they're all armed-to-the-teeth reservists, I but wanted to build a standing unit to see how it worked. I had so many labourers in the Bern iron mines that I reckoned I could spare one, converted it to soldiers, got 30 manpower, went to the cannon button and pressed to recruit a division. CRASH. Every time. Sometimes it crashed as soon as I converted them, before I got as far as the army button. I could hear the hard-disk chomping on something heavy before it went down. I tried it with the pause button on, same deal.
Have I used a wrong procedure, or is it what happens on a minimum system? (BTW I have the 1.03.) If the latter, I'm going to uninstall and bow out, but maybe keep Victoria for when my business machine gets replaced and becomes my game machine. If the former, there's hope.
Just before this, I had the same thing when Lombardy revolted and I tried to trade techs with them before they got stomped by the Austrians. The moment I pressed the Offer Them button. CTD. But if I ignored them, the game progressed, so it wasn't a can-never-get-beyond-year-X issue as I had with CK.
