Hi, I was hoping to play some multiplayer games this weekend, so I trying to get this solved as fast as possible, just in case it effects multiplayer as well. I have contacted Ubisoft & Stardock Support but I think both of them are off on weekends, so posting here just in case there are any "off duty" devs/mods looking at forums.
Here is a copy of the message i sent:

Hello,
I am running The Political Machine version 1.01 (latest).
Here are my system specs:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.53ghz with 512k Level2 Cache
RAM: 512mb PC2100 DDR RAM
Shared-Video-Memory: 64mb DDR RAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9000 Pro with 128mb DDR Memory
Sound Card: Realtek AC97 Audio
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
OS Updates: Service Pack 1
DirectX Version: 9.0c (latest)
ATI CATALYST Display Driver Version: 4.8 (latest)
Realtek AC97 Audio Codec Drivers: A3.62 (latest)
Problem:
I have been playing the game for almost a week now without any problems whatsoever. I have played the entire campaign against Republicans as well as a few multiplayer games, and I began working on the campaign against Democrats yesterday. I got up to the 6th opponent (Bill Clinton) and about 3/4 through the match, the game crashed when i clicked on a Political Operative in a state. I kept reloading the game, doing a few turns before crashing again (even if i don't click on a Political Operative), until I finally defeated Clinton, then moved on to the 7th opponent (Lyndon B. Johnson). About 1/3 through that match, not even half-way, i crashed again, and it became worse than during the Clinton match, as most of the time I could not even get through a single turn before crashing again. So the game became unplayable.
Today I tried the game again, starting a new match against Johnson, and this time I had my first crash during the Turn right after I picked my Vice President half-way through the match. I have included a new Debug error file created from running TPM in debug mode (and reloading the AutoSave and crashing again), as well as my DxDiag file with my computer information.
Please Help. Thanks in advance for a response.
