When it crashes, what does it say. Theres usually a box that comes up with some codes in it. If you get another can you screen dump that. Also, if people think that its memory then try doing a memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) on your ram just to ensure that its ok. Sometimes you might have a bit of ram dodgy or the clock rates can cause incorrect memory accesses.
Are you doing bigger maps and lots of objects Landorl?
I have CC3 with DD3 and CD3 as well and when creating bigger city maps with hundreds if not thousands of objects somewhere along the way it will keep crashing on me when I click around (or try to save it as a BMP for example). It's why I was forced to make printscreens of parts of the map and then paste them together in Paint Shop.
Smaller maps give me no problem at all. I have almost the same computer configuration as you (2GB of RAM, but my processor is slightly slower I think).
Oh, and to clarify, these bigger maps I am talking about are maps I work 10 - 20 hours on. I kinda saw the crash bug as a technical limitation of my computer.

Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
I was trying to get it to repeat this morning so that I could get the error message, but wouldn't you know that today is the day that it decides not to crash
I guess I should count my blessing and keep working!
Hi all,
First post and it's unfortunate it has to be negative one. I've been using CB3 to recreate the city of Fallujah for a college project and while it is quite a large project, CD3 crashes frequently and slows down as soon as the building layer is visible (there are about 1000 buildings rendered). I've also got 2GB ram with a processor getting on for 5 years old. Despite that I do find the programme while very good, not exactly intuitive.
