Hello. I recently purchased Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity so as to get the game and its expansions on a disk. The game, unfortunately, keeps crashing on my computer about five minutes into the game, regardless of whether I am in the menus or the game itself. I originally believed that it was an issue with my graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 4850). When the game crashes it creates these odd yellow and green graphical glitches. Once they appear, the game then disappears and the screen goes black. I see the cursor, and the game seems to keep trying to load to no effect. I can't escape back to Windows. My only recourse is a hard reboot by turning off the computer manually. The music, oddly, still plays when the game crashes. I upgraded my drivers to no effect.    

I am beginning to suspect, however, that the issue may be my operating system. I use Windows 7, and have noticed that other games of mine have crashed under similar circumstances. I've tried running the game as an administrator to no effect. I have also read on the forums here of others with issues with Vista. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what course of action I should take? Do you think its a graphics card issue or an issue with Windows 7? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
