Im having a problem with Ashes Cricket 2009 from Codemaster's crashing on Windows 7. The game has worked fine on Windows XP and Vista (surprisingly). One computer that had Vista updated to Windows 7 also runs the game fine. Ive noticed machines that have only had Windows 7 on them are not able to properly run the game. It starts up fine but as soon as the first ball is bowled the game crashes.

Specs: (Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980)
Integrated Graphics card Intel Graphics Media Accelerator
4 gigs RAM
Intel Core 2 duo processor
DirectX 11.0

Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out for a while now

It still crashes in the same spot. There's also a pop up about the graphics driver failing and restarting. Any other ideas?

Click to expand...

I could be simply a compatibility issues. There are many games which runs fine on XP/Vista but wont run on Windows 7. Check the game website for compatibility issues. Also, make sure all the drivers on your PC are updated.
Nothing much could be done to fix it.

I will first suggest lowering all graphics details to minimum, including turning off vsync(cant remember if it has it, just check) and also that anti aliasing is switched off.
