If having problems with sound then Adjust the sound acceleration

To adjust sound acceleration in Windows:

· Click Start->Run.
· In the box type DXDIAG. Click OK. This will bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
· When the tool finishes loading, click the Sound tab at the top of the window.
· Under DirectX Features you will see a slider bar labelled Hardware Sound Acceleration Level. Click on this slider and drag it to the left to decrease and right to increase.
* Click Exit.

Now try running the game. If your problem persists repeat the steps, adjusting the slider one notch at a time. Test the game at each setting.

Starts fine but then crashes after about a minute of gameplay. The patch that's suppost to fix this for XP doesn't seem to work on vista
