1. I am running patched version 1.4b w/G.W. 1.1a, latest ver. of SHCommander, and Sh3Gen. In addition, I downloaded few new ships, etc.
2. My desktop has 1GB of Ram, Geforce FX 5950 Ultra with the latest drivers, Win XP 64.
3. Usually the game crashes when I am in the navigation map just cruising along with time compression to 2048 or 1024.
I have seen suggestion to turn down the sound acceleration via dxdiag. It helped me for about one mission. My game crashed during the next patrol.

I am not sure what you are referring to by "stupid small square buttons on the lower right side."
The crash usually happens when I am at the Navigation Map just cruising during the patrol. This system break down drives me CRAZZZZZY.
Thanks you all. I am open for any suggestion.

I sometimes have CTDs myself in the navigation map. It usually happens when I drag the map around a lot. I believe this is a known small bug in SHIII. I say small because it doesn't happen very often.
Sh3Gen adds hundreds of new objects to your map, so I suspect that might increase the probability. But I can not positively confirm a connection. And as I said above, it doesn't happen often.
Some general tips:
If you're having BSOD's or reboots, a tip from me is check your temps, and check if all hardware (cards, cables) are firmly in their sockets. Last summer I had a serious reboot problem because:
1. my northbridge was running hot when in the summer months, which I could fix by actively cooling it. I also installed a complete new set of 92mm fans for the whole system, and it's now almost as cool as a fridge.
2. my graphic card had become loose during transport - that turned out to be the most serious problem, because it crashed my comp randomly!
Some other tips:
Reinstall your OS and drivers, then create an image. That way you won't have to put up with a crappy installation, and can always overwrite it with a clean image. I also advise you to use swappable hard drives, so you can have several configurations at hand.
Then of course, check the usual hardware/software tips around on the internet.
