Re: Win XP Issue
Unfortunately, XP (or DirectX 8 I guess) has a major problem with certain graphics card and motherboard combinations. This manifests itself in games with 3D graphics content, causing BSOD crashes in the most extreme cases. I've had this happen with Half-life, Quake and even Age of Empires on my machine (ABIT KT7, Athlon 1100 and Geoforce 256 card).
Your problem seems like a more minor Version, I've yet to have SE4 crash in the same way (relatively primitive graphics, I guess). There is a beta patch out there from VIA, but this didn't help me 8-( We probably have to wait for a patch from Microsoft, apparently they have 8000+ formal reports of this problem...
