Davetox1, I really doubt that SE4 is the problem. I would guess some hardware component of your PC is damaged. It might be the memory chips (RAM). I myself had 2 damaged RAMs in 2 days and they are a pain in the a** as these errors are hard to catch and will have many faces (device not working, RCEs, blue screens...). If oyu have more then 1 RAM-Chip, try removing one of them (shut your PC down!) and restart SE4 after that. If the error returns, put in the removed RAM and take the other one out. Retry SE4. If the RCEs are gone with only one RAM in your PC, the remove RAM is damaged for sure.
Sorry Mephisto, but I can't buy your theory. A bad hardware component would likely produce a variety of errors, as you suggest, not a crash in a single program. In my case at least, the Dell Inspiron 4000 that produces the error in SEIV appears to function flawlessly with other programs -- even other games.
Since the common thread connecting those of us who have the problem seems to be Dell laptops (I don't have a problem with my Dell desktop -- does anyone else?) plus WinME, I agree with davetox1 that that would be the plausible place to look for a solution. I also agree with him that finding it might not be easy.
