    If you bought a boxed version from a store check the box for the minimum system requirements. If you paid for a download of the game then I suggest you do a web search on "empire total war system requirements" to find out where your computer may be lacking. Or maybe your unpacked game download has a readme file with the minimum system specs listed in it. I couldn't seem to find an "official" minimum list of hardware requirements on Sega's E:TW website but a web search yielded this info:

    Operating System: Windows XP 32(service pack 2), Windows Vista 32 OS.
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Single Core Intel or AMD equivalent processor.
    System Memory: 1GB RAM (XP) 2GB RAM (Vista).
    Graphics Card: 256MB DirectX 9.0c compatible video card (shader 2.0 or higher).
    Sound Card: Directx9.0c compatible sound card.
    Windows compatible mouse & keyboard.
    15 GB free uncompressed hard drive space.

    Your CPU is considerably slower than the minimum suggested. What about your graphics and sound card -- are they both Directx 9.0c capable?

    Did u try updating the game?
    Update your graphics drivers.

    And another thing. Can you spec your PC? And what OS do u have?

    Do you have to reboot your PC after the crash? Does it crash to the desktop? More details would be apppreciated.

    @Migz
    E:TW is considerably more intense than others TW games.
    For example, I can run Medieval2 with high no problems asked. But I have to set E:TW to low on sea levels....
