Try a more recent video driver.

Try a more recent sound card driver. that can cause problems too. I'm definitely NOT a IT expert, but since you got the blue screen of death, it might be a Windows problem.

dont worry about the sound card, but your video card need a driver update.

Thanks for your comments, but I am not looking for support. I am reporting a bug in the beta.

Since you're getting BSODs, chances are this is NOT a beta bug, but something wrong with your hardware or drivers.

Specifically, since the STOP messages seem to be changing at random, I'd bet it's an issue with bad RAM.

Ahhh, so explain how this happens only on this version of the game and at no other time? Back to playing 1.0 just fine.

Take a look at the meaning behind STOP 0x1E, it indicateds a general "WTF" on the part of the processor. To figure out what is causing it you localize the issue. Since i can do everything else on my computer with the exception of the 1.1BETA then that is the most likely cause.

I'm sorry rgant but the 1.1BETA may have changed their code and make more extensive use of things & functions not supported by old drivers

are updating drivers such a problem for you ?

Drivers look fine here. Only drivers older than 2005 would really be an issue and even then, probably a 2004 driver would work okay.

If you're actually getting a blue screen of death, I'm not sure. The crash is actually in the kernel of the OS.

Drivers look fine here

If I were him I would still try to update drivers, you never know what might happen in that strange thing called a computer
one day I even had a user who had a problem between a cdrom drive and a palm software ....
the palm software was somehow interfering with the well being of the cdrom drive .... go figure ....

anyway...
next step would be : (maybe obvious or stupid but ... you never know)
-scandisk
-defrag
-windowsupdate
-antivirus update + scan
-antispyware update + scan
-killing/stopping all unecessary running processes before trying again to start the game

feel free to ignore, I'm just trying to help, because I didn't get any BSOD so my guess is that something between his computer software/hardware environment and the game is interfering
but I might be all wrong
