These CTD's are really beginning to hack me off; they happen at any year in the game. I'm pretty sure it's not the game but something with my OS or hardware.

You mentioned using a laptop, I assume that its got its own dedicated video card unless you're using an old one. Heat has caused several CTD's with several of my games, with all the fans/exhaust vents on the bottom the heat dissipation is horrible. To finally fix it I put some large rubber feet (like the ones under a stereo receive or dvd player) that raised it up about a 1/2" and has pretty much solved the overheating problem (on my laptop if it goes beyond the threshold it shuts down the computer and kills all processes (like a windows version of kill -9 SH3) in order to turn off).
