thanks for the help, guys. Hanomag, I read thru the link you gave; I suspect that I have a video or sound problem, but I'm not sure what. I don't have a loading problem (I already worked thru that one), and I don't have any CTD's when there are lots of ships around, like a convoy. I only get my crashwhen any single ship goes directly over my boat, regardless of whether it's alone or in a convoy, destroyer, trawler, or merchant. And this started acting up just in the last few months.

I'm using a Dell 8200
pentium P4 2.0 GHz
1536 MB RAM
ATI 9600 radeon 128 mB
(I don't have anything about a sound card - does that mean that I don't have one?)
nicely defragmented
beautifully updated ATI driver
GWX 2.1
16 km atm
contact color
open hatch
no medals
increased asw
Capt.amer. officers
fubar's harbor personnel
real depth charge
sober's 3D waves (OLC waves were too big of a framerate hit)
thompsen's no-instant deathscreen
type IX open hatch
waterstream_for_uboats
GWX - late war sensors (it's late '44)

I don't think it's a sound problem, since I don't have a problem with being DC'ed or hunted, as long as the other guy doesn't go directly over me. Aside from framerates, I can complete any patrol just fine if I stay out from under everyone, but, alas, this isn't always possible.

On the last crash, I wrote down the following details (how can you copy this stuff- I tried to highlight and right click, but got no options?):
AppName:SH3.exe AppVer: 1.4.0.1 ModName:sh3sim.act
ModVer:0.0.0.0 Offset:0000655e
and that was all. It listed a file in a Temp folder that it would send to MS, but there was no such Temp folder in my Docs and Settings when I went looking.

all extraneous applications shut down; no abnormal system turn-offs or power losses;clean virus scan (I use AVG)

I don't know if I was an evil person in a past life and this is just payback, but that seems to be about all I can think of.
