Hello TDW, Pintea and those others who helped -

i am running the sim now without stuttering, and without CTDs.

THANKS !

I just did what TDW had proposed, and what Pintea mentioned:
Download the "Explorer Suite", open the SH5.exe file (after having made a backup) and found that the sim file was already set to use more than 2 Gb - so i just closed it without changing.

Next i typed those commands in the command line, so that Win 7 32 bit would allow the use of 3 Gb generally, and restarted just to make sure.

Started the sim, saved, loaded, played for 6+ hours without any CTD, all the time alt-tabbing in and out of the sim to open documents or surf the web, only to go back to the running SH5 without problem.

There is one small problem which i had before - the small "notepad" or what's it called at the lower right vanishes after some time, and i can only bring up the big messages window after this to read answers or ackonwledged orders - but nothing to do with the CTD or anything.

Much thanks and greetings,
Catfish

P.S. also installed that antilag thingie mentioned by TDW - also helped against lagging-
P.P.S the "white-out" rectangles on the menu bars as shown in the screenshot in post #1 are also a thing of the past.
