Yes I have this problem as well, usually at the hour and a half mark. Exits to the desktop with an OS error.

I had a similar problem. Try this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940105

Worked great for me and a couple other people on the forum. It has to do with how Windows allocates memory space and once you run out of space the game crashes.

Edit: Beat'd, the link above is the same link I posted.

8800 cards will have trouble on vista will have trouble with games that a graphics intensive .Sins may not be that intensive but im sure if you scrolled in on a huge battle .You may have to download some of these hotfixs to fix it.Be aware that if you dont your comp will after a while BSOD and not start up for 20 minutes (i know i had this problem)
