You probably have either power management or a screensaver kicking in after this time. The game is designed to run continuously when in autoplay mode, and does not detect whether a screensaver has become active. If you hit a key every now and then or set a longer delay on the screensaver/power management it should fix the problem.

As for the illegal operation error, if you have limited other system resources (especially if running Windows 98 or Windows ME) it is possible these errors will be seen. Windows XP is a much better operating system for our games.
