I've noticed this to.It seems when you set the settins (fast,normal slow) at the start of the match they didnt stick and you have to open up the menu (make sure everything is good) close it and it will work fine.Minor bug that could use a fix but not really needed.
If you havent upgraded to SP1 I suggest doing so because it improves most games stability and has even been noticed on some systems to improve FPS and more.

Ok im not even going to attempt to guess whats wrong with your disc but there is a different way to get the game. First go to the bottom of the page and click the Stardock Symbol on the right (you guess it the S).Then go to downloads and download StarDock central once you have it installed and such register your Sins serial (by way of the Tools,Register Product) and you'll have access to the downloadable version of the game.It will take probably 45 min-2 hours depending on your int
Nice.

Was there any doubt ?
[quote]Are you having this problem with any other game ? if you are it could be one of your GB's of memory has gone bad.Crashing does not indicate memory failure.

If its not any of these its a safe bet its the vista hang everyone else has

It came in SP1 i just noticed that. Might want to try annatars suggestion. I have a couple further ideas that i'll post later.
Ok theres 2 roads your problem could go down 1. Is that your problem is easily fixable by downloading 1 or both of these and it maybe will fix your problem http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938194 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940105 2.You have a problem that many ppl have reported and theres a dedicated thread to it sticky'd in this forum. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/176162
I'll suggest what i suggested to another guy whos game wouldnt install. Go to the bottom of the page,click stardocks symbol,download stardock central,register the games serial with SDC and download it directly from there. If that doesnt work do what Jon said but be aware that you'll lose all your data too not just the old owners.
I believe it comes with a theme not matter what,havent seen any proof otherwise.
Np Have fun with the game.
It tells them what files,code and etc were being used when it crashed.It'd basicly tell them if its part of the game that just got crazy somehow or if its outdated drivers or anything else.
[quote]I agree that the minidumps create a serious limitation to the game. I made a map using Sins Plus 1.2 worlds and was soooo stoked to play it, but I can only get about 5 minutes into the game in multiplayer mode before it crashes and minidumps. My wifes laptop lasts a little bit longer, but not much, and it doesn't seem to matter which one of us hosts the game. If I play the game alone, with only other AI players to fill up the slots, it seems to run fine.So far the minidump issue has only
Im thinking somehow your disc may have become corrupted or your CD drive didnt read it correctly. You may wait to try to download Star Dock Central (can be found by clicking the Starodck symbol at the bottom of page) install it and register your game serial and download it directly from stardocks servers.

Hmm you (OP) pretty much has the exact system as me except for 2 GB's of ram and a different asus motherboard,I didnt have any trouble with the install but then again i beta tested and downloaded it the second it was released. It was probably just a file that was missing that the demo replaced.
It seems when i've been on ive seen about 4-5 games on gateway even tho its not really a fun map.
