It's time to hop over to to TPB, grab an appropriate XP64 disk, and REFORMAT and REINSTALL.
There is XP64? How did I miss this? Finally, my fourth GB of RAM will no longer remain flaccid and unused. Well, once I get a new hard drive, since I can't be assed to reformat.

Theo:
Search for 'windows xp 64'. Google Suggest even adds 'torrent'. ;D ARRR!

Well, I tried a clean game with no CC -- no crashes.  Clean game with CC -- no crashes.  I guess I can conclude that at least *part* of my problem is my backed up game.  I've been playing it for about 3 years, so it's probably time to move on anyway. 

By the way, I *thought* I was getting 64-bit Windoze, but my system info tells me it's 32.  Time to call Dell and ask them WTF?

I wouldn't.  Calling to talk to someone in Bangladesh with very little understanding of the english language isn't helpful.  They never know what they are talking about anyway... they just refer to a giant manual and feed you irrelevant answers.  At least, this is my experience with both Dell and AOL.

Well, after going through umpteen people, Dell is sending me the 64-bit version of Windoze at no additional cost.  Installing it will void the software portion of my warranty; but since they've proved themselves useless in software issues anyway, I don't think that's any great loss. ;D 

Since it *seemed* to be only my saved neighborhood crashing, though, is it safe to assume starting over will work?  Or will it only work once I have the 64-bit system installed?
