after having fiddled with several settings for the Bios, VGA and the soundcard, I decided to follow the advice of another poster and to enable the advanced graphics options through modification of the "rise2.ini" file; just look for the following value and set it from "0" to "1"
EnableGraphicsToggles=1
then within the game go to the graphics options panel and set all the advanced settings to "low"; if the game continues to crash, sorry, it must be something else...
if, however, the crashes disappear then one can narrow down the problem by setting, say, five settings to high; (one can bring up the options menu while playing a game by hitting "F11"); if it does crash now it must be one of these settings; if it doesn't, one can set another five settings to high and so on, until one has singled out the graphic element(s) that is/are responsible for the crashes; in my case it turned out to be the "roads" setting, so now I have all settings on high except for this one and, alas, no more crashing
hope that helps
