I've tried with another pc, with more RAM end newer cpu I5, and give the same error.

The pyrogenesis.exe file provided by Wildfire Games is a 32bit binary, so it can't allocate more than 2GB RAM, even less if memory fragmentation is taken into account. You can probably play without crashes without AI, at most 8*150 units population limit and maximum map size 4. I suggest trying the lobby or compiling a custom 64 bit exe file with Visual Studio (​http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions)

Shouldn't happen when opening menu though...

yes, I think this is a memory problem, I've played a big map with 8 player ....setting less player and small map, everything working fine. thanks at all.
