Random crashes in 1.952

I keep getting these crashes randomly, but haven't been able to replicate them.
Sometimes they occur when trying to build a new building, set up the slots in retail stores, clicking on the R&D news button etc.
I have to save the game always before building anything and even then can't play the game for 30 minutes without a crash - pretty frustrating

Please try using 1.943 and see if the problem persists.
You can download the 1.941 installer from:
ftp://caplabbeta:capeco386@enlight.exav ... taller.exe
and it will auto patch to 1.943.
If the problem is limited to 1.952 only, we will trace the code change between 1.952 and 1.943 and try to hunt down the bug.
Please let me know your testing result.

So I tried the 1.943 version and played about half an hour and got this message.
I was looking at the apartments menu and right-clicked the mouse and the game crashed.
Any ideas what might cause this? Is it just my computer being silly or have others reported similar issues?

Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3
I can also send you the dxdiag-information if that can be of any use.

Wow, that's unique! I've been playing on XP SP3 for more than 20 hrs now and haven't encountered that error yet.

If I am the only one getting these errors then the logical conclusion is that
my computer is wonky. Not fun.
I have no idea how to interpret those error messages. Capitalism II runs fine and it has never crashed.
