Tim F -> Game freeze at Allied AI 31% every turn... (11/28/2016 9:12:43 AM)

Hi guys, I have returned to the excellent War in the West after many, many months away. I have encountered a glitch which causes the game to freeze. I am playing the Germans in the full D-Day - Berlin scenario with an Allied AI. Generally - and with increasing regularity - the game seizes up at the AI Turn 31% marker, during the Allied ground operations phase, when the computer is crunching through the battles. If I leave it nothing happens. If I try some clicks to try and free it up then eventually the game screen dissolves into the milky white Windows “War in the West Application has stopped working”. What I laughingly call a “workaround” is then to reload the game from the previously saved point at the end of the last German turn and run the America AI turn again (including, of course, a very long air turn in which I go and make a cup of tea or something). Sometimes I have to re-run the turn 2,3,4 or 5 times before it somehow “breaks free” of its seizure and continues normally on with the rest of the Allied turn. While the AI is running through the Allied ground attack turn, the indicator that it is going to freeze up seems to be the intermittent “blinking” of the Combat and Movement factors on half a dozen or so random German units. The computer normally fights 2 or 3 more combats and then locks. When it has frozen, a few German units are left with their combat and movement indicators still blinking away.
Very grateful for any thoughts!
DXDIAG hopefully attached...
