Yes the game doesn't run well under Vista 32 (there are major issues with
the game and Vista 32 virtual memory address space) there are a few fixes
you can try here.

But before you try all those make sure you have the 1.2 patch for the game
and just run it in window mode. after I attempeted all the so called fixes
none of them worked so I just reset my system to all it's defaults and
reinstalled the game and now run in a window (1680 x1050 and graphics
setting maxed) and can play for 2 hours without a crash.
If you can play for an hour or more consider yourself lucky and don't
attempt anymore fixes.
Hopefully the game will come out with another patch to address this issue.
