Please install 'SmartException' from the Stardock Central program. Make sure that the program is running and then start your game as normal. If the game crashes it will generate an Exception report that can be emailed to [email protected] along with your debug.err. This will enable the devs/help team to see what is causing the error and hopefully provide you with a solution to your issue.

And i'd try updating your video and sound drivers....they are both over 12 months old.

You would be surprised what wonders up to date drivers can do for you....
