Error codes 12 and 13 along with crashing.

My game never crashed but yesterday I got back an old problem that I cannot even remember how it was solved the first time - Windows cannot close TS3. It seems that something hangs eternally and I have to switch the computer manually. Yesterday I tried something new and I forced the screen back to desktop by clicking the windows buttom. It worked and I got back the possibility to use Task Manager to try to close TS3. Got only "Program is not responding". Tried again and again and finally got Windows to close TS3. This happens now everytime I play - everything is normal and never crashes but cannot be closed. I don't know what kind of error is that but it is not related to saving. I don't lose anything in the game and next time it starts without any problem.
I thought that it could be caused by the last mods I added but no. I took one by one out and it doesn't change a thing.
Yesterday also I included some skins in the game, also a penis mesh. But they were not there when the first case happened.
It is really a bore when you have to put in and out things that you really want to have and the cause is something related with the game self. The worst is that everybody has different issues because we use different systems. I use XP Professional 32 bits.

If you have a neighborhood that does this, I can take a look at it, but the last times I've checked, I've never found anything.
Krumpet:
I had the error 12 and 13 problem--including .bad saves, crashing, and neighborhood loss--about a month ago and noticed that it only happened after a long gameplay session--I'm talking about 7+ hours. Neither the frequency of my saves, or the length of time between them seemed to have any effect on my tendency to get error codes. So on days when I intended to play an indulgent amount I started exiting the game after 6 hours or so and then restarting it. Since coming up with this strategy I haven't had a 12 or 13 error code since. Perhaps this could be helpful for the rest of you.
EDIT: I play a vanilla game, no CC except for store items I used my points for. I have 4 gigs of RAM. My neighborhoods were in the 55mb range (approx.) when the errors started.

if it can help finding the "guilty", I only get the 12 error code with windows vista 64 bits. Erasing the bad file, then changing anything in my game do nothing. Dont seem to have any pattern. So i have to wait not too long to save and restart...

I really would like to be able to investigate what is wrong with my borked hood. It is the second time I lose a hood that I worked much on it. I'm not any internet expert and don't really know how to send about 40MB of data to another person. Here we have very easy way to do it, we have mobile units that can host 500GB data and be phisically transported. Don't have a clue how to use the FTP address gave me by Pescado. It is OK anyway. One day I will learn to make it self cause I'm sure all hoods will be lost anyway at every EP.
Repetition must be EA's best.
