Crashes to Desktop during loading sounds

[oniris]

Hi there, I'm trying to play CK 1.05 on My Windows XP machine, but it allways crashes at "Loading Sounds".

I tried renaming the sfx and/or Music folders, to no avail.

Reinstallation does not fix the issue.

After installing Deus Vult on top, I actually get an error message at "Loading Sounds": "Unhandled Exception detected! Address: 0x004CD5BE Please report! (more information in log file)"

Here are the contents of the log file:

"
######## EXCEPTION: 0xC0000005 at address: 0x004CD5BE: ACCESS VIOLATION read attempt to address 0x00000000
11/17/08 12:28:01

StackWalk(): GetLastError = 487
"

Hope you can help, keep on the good work!

See if the advice given in this thread solves the issue

So
1. Rename your avi folder to avi.old.

2. Update your video driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_169.25_whql.html

3. Set resolution to 1024X768

1) Renaming the avi folder to avi old did speed up the loading process by disabling the intro animations but the exception remained.

2) I updated the video drivers to the latest version, but the problem persists.

3) Setting the resolution to 1028x768 did not resolve the issue.

The game still crashes at "Loading Sounds"

Any ideas?

Rename music to music.old

Thanks for the advice, but as I stated in my first post, i've tried that, without success.

***UPDATE***

Strangely enough, It runs pretty well on the same PC via Ubuntu/Wine, the only limitation being that the game crashes if I use the ledger...

I've tried disabling my sound card to see what would happen, which led to a couple of loud PC Speaker sounds and the same crash as usual.

Does no one have a clue what could be wrong?

Why would CKDV work on ubuntu, but not on Windows on the same machine?

Reinstalling did not help :'(
