UPDATE: AMD is not the problem my wife had with crashing. But the other common theme was Audigy cards which she has. We updated her Audigy drives to the lastest Beta driver with Open AL support and now the game runs fine. She also had a GF 440 MX and we replaced it with a GF5500FX. But even with the newer card the game still crashed until we updated to the latest Audigy Beta driver. I previously updated her Audigy driver but I guess I didn't go far enough with it before. She's happy now and I can get back to what I was doing. Cheers, JS

It seems like the main reason this game is crashing is because of AMD processors. My wife just bought this game and she has an AMD64 and had a GFMX4200. She got the C++ Runtime error. So we installed the game on my PC. Intel P4 2.5Ghz/GF5500FX. It works fine on my machine no crash at all. So we figure it must be the crappy video card she had. So I went out and spent almost $200 to get her a GF6600GT. Bring it home install it and the game....still crashes. Although the C++Runtime error is gone now the game still crashes. The videos play fine but as soon as the game tries to load it crashes or just pops back to the desktop. So now I'm going through her system with a fine tooth comb until I fix it. Cheers, JS
