Spring freezes/crashes when loading on my laptop in .70b2

Hey all!
In the latest update (0.70) a problem manifested itself: I can no longer run spring on my laptop, works fine on my main comp. Since i have all my mod dev files and shit on the laptop thats kind of a drag, I hope there is a way to fix this. Basically the mod hangs on Loading Units / weapons, doesnt lock up the computer, just goes to 0% activity and sits there. You can alt-tab out and shut it down via the task manager just fine, though. Are there any tech info you need?
My laptop is a:
Fujitsu-Siemens Amilio M1437G
1,7Ghz Intel M processor
Radeon x700 128mb
1024mb RAM
Windows xp home :/

Also, it has a 15,4" display in a "widescreen" configuration, perhaps its a display problem relating to that? Spring atleast refused to run in a differant aspect ratio, perhaps that could be fixed also in another version?

Hope you can fix this, I'm a big fan of spring!
Thanks

Ok, did a complete reinstall on my laptop, even cleared out the registry items and stuff, still crashes. I'm suspecting that something in the major update that 0.70 was broke compatibility with my laptop, probalby because it is a laptop and i guess all the dev work is done on stationary computers.

I have the same problem on my Laptop, it always crashes at "Creating Sky", spring just freezes but i can still shut it down, just like centurion-1 described.

Laptop spec.:

Acer Aspire 1362LM
1,6Ghz AMD Sempron CPU
256 DDR (perhaps this is the problem for my crashes because i got memory errors before the update to 0.70)
Integrated VIA Unichrome pro IGP 64mb (perhaps this is the problem but i dont know)

Thanks for helping, i hope you can
