Computer freezing

This is my first time posting here, and I’m an end-user, rather than a programmer, so if I get any technical details wrong, please be gentle.

Three times in a little more than 24 hours, my computer has frozen while I was performing simple actions in a game of Memoir ‘44. (Cursor would not move. Keyboard would not register.) I had to do hard reboots.

Yesterday, it happened while I was taking a setup token from the Pieces window. Today it happened twice while taking cards from the deck. The second time, I had no other applications at all open. I’ve never had this problem previously, though I hadn’t used the latest version (Dec 20, 2012) of the Memoir module very much.

Technical info is below.

Any thoughts on what may be happening or how to fix it? Thanks!

System details, as nearly as I can determine them:

Model: HP Compaq dc7600
OS: MS Windows 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.120801-1629:Service Pack 3)
CPU: Pentium 3.40GHz

Video: Quadro NVS 285, BIOS version 5.44.02.31.29
Vassal: 3.2.2

The first few lines from the “error log” from my latest reboot are pasted below, but they don’t seem to have any information about the freeze itself.

Don’t use the Compendium extension, it’s not for that version.

Glad it’s that simple. Thank you!
