I used the information in the error message and did the following and got a good result. I played the whole day without crashing.
1. I went to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\gfxconfig and opened 0x1039_sis.gfx with notepad and saved as 0x1106_via.gfx.
2. I changed the following information in it and saved it
Vendor=VIA
defaultdevice=via1106.gfx
[device]
0x7205=VIA/S3G KM400/KN400,via1106.gfx
3. I opened sis315.gfx in the same folder and saved it as via1106.gfx.
Thanks for VIA Arena Forums
