I can load levels and play fine, but whenever the servers game finishes and the map changes. i start to load the next map and during the loading the game crashes to desktop.

put textures and terrain on middle , this is causing it.

or was it only terrain?

thanks for the suggestion but it has'nt worked. I can't understand it because I load the map when I first join, but when the server changes map it decides to crash during loading.

I'm getting the same problems, but on Vista. It doesn't immediately crash to desktop, but I hear an error "bleep" and get the Windows loading cursor appearing on my PR loading screen (normally it would show the PR cursor). If I alt-tab to the desktop there's a critical memory error with Continue/Cancel/Try Again options. Regardless of what I press, it closes PR down.

I can restart PR and join the same server "fresh" without any problems.

Try upping your virtual ram/page file size.
1.5x real ram is a good start.
Set min and max the same (avoids fragmentation of page file)

I've seen this suggestion on a few similar posts, but it doesnt work. I've tried upping the virtual memory as you suggested, but i still ctd almost every time a map changes. I also find it crashes more frequently on Dragon Fly and Iron Eagle, and every time i load Wanda Shan or Burning Sands, I ctd. EVERY TIME.
Got any more tricks in that awesome hat of yours ?
