Just in case you've installed the 1.02 semi-official patch, it doesn't work well with the GOG version of Startopia.

You can try:
- Running the game in Compatibility Mode (Win XP SP3)
- Changing CPU affinity to only one core (Alt-Tab out of the game, open Taskmanager => Processes; right-click the game and change processor affinity so, that all are unchecked but one)
- Keep an eye on your systems temperature, random crashes can derive from overheating
- Don't force fancy graphic settings in the driver's control panel, but let the application choose

Thanks for your reply!
It turns out that my Asus Xonar sound card was the problem...but disabling DSP Mode "GX" fixed it for me.
