CFS 3 crashes randomly

Hi. Played CFS 3 on a Pentium III 500 for years w/ no problem. Missing
to shoot down planes I bought the game again last week. This time I
installed it on a Centrino/XP SP2 Laptop on which I play all my other
simulators w/ no glitches.

I am getting random blue screen crashes in almost every other run of
the game. Sometimes I play it for hours and everything seems OK but
when it crashes, it CRASHES, resulting in a painfull restart for the
system. (It tells me about a serious problem that WINDOWS has
recovered from. Going through these crashes a few times a day started
to worry me. I am concerned for the system.

System:
TOSHIBA Satellite A 105
Intel Centrino (plain)
XP SP1
256 Mb Graphics card
1.5 GB RAM

The game has the patch from the MCFS 3 website installed.

Already dissappointed to find out that the ZONE MULTIPLAYER site was
not supporting the game anymore!
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
