Tried to play again. This time, I didn't get an access violation. I got a BSOD. 
Stop 0x00000050 (0xB9C07BB8, 0x00000000, 0x81E586DA, 0x00000000)
I think the text said "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA."
I'll also send this to support@stardock.com, of course, but someone here once said they'd like to see the above info when it comes to BSODs.
