Game keeps crashing

elemental-fallen-enchantress 1.32

Hey, I hope someone will eventually read this. Doesn't seem like any of the other crash posts have been responded to, but here it goes since I want this game to work for me. I've enjoyed it when it has worked.

I have this game for two weeks now, and haven't been able to get through my games without constant crashing. Given I've only created two games and completed one of them. But not without my game crashing or just freezing completely. The game hasn't ever not crashed when first loading the game and doing my first turn. Than the next time I start the game it gets better, but inevitably crashes. I've started telling it to autosave after two turns since it even crashes when I try and simply save the game...and it consistently crashes/freezes whenever I try to reload a game while currently playing a already loaded game.

I've turned off most if not all of the settings I can see that say they affect performance. What else can I do to make this game work on my machine? If I can't get it to run more consistently I'm going to pursue a refund, but I want to try and see if someone can let me know if there's something else I can do to make it not crash or freeze all the time.

start>run>dxdiag gives me this
