Dominions 3 crashes on start up

[mrlich]

Dominions 3 started crashing on start-up for me. The arrow appears over a black screen and then nothing. Clicking produces a crash message and a gray screen. For some reason, rebooting helps fix this for a while, but after some up time starting the game produces the same results.

I have the latest version with no mods. I tried reinstalling nvidia drivers, but it did not help, except temporarily after restart.

Incidentally, OpenGL acceleration in Photoshop also stops working (results in a crash when opening new/existing file) when this problem happens with Dominions 3.
