I have had all sound off since day one.
I get a rare blip of brightness (not me, the screen) that I think is related to things that I am running in the background. JMHO.

OK, but what I'm trying to deterimine is if "Black Captain"s crashes AND flashes went away once he turned off the sound.

the crashes went. The flashes are still with me periodically, when the program ends the AI movement; so it's not a huge issue for me.

My screen flashing seems to have stopped since I deleted a very old version of MS Works I had installed to open some files from an old computer. It appears that it had an update function that was constantly running.

Probably not much help to others with this problem, though.

Still get the end turn flashes sometimes.

I get some white flashing form time to time. I also have the map go black for a second when the AI moves. the rest of the screen stays normal.

..full screen mode BTW

The screen going black between the AI and your turns for a brief moment is normal

OK just doesn't happen all the time. didn't think it was a problem.

I've had a problem with crashing in both Full and Windowed mode. It seems to happen less often in Windowed mode, but still happens. In Full mode, the crash seems to lock up my whole system but in Windowed mode I can escape out of it.

I am running Win98SE, 256MB of RAM, 64MB Geforce4 video (which I've tried rolling back the drivers on), using DirectX 9.0c.

Please let me know if you guys need any more information or come up with anything -- I'm dying to get into this game but it's just too frustrating having to reboot so often.
