Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
4) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.
 
What changed between when it was working and when it was not?
Did you install anything?
Did you change any settings?

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu - Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select "Save All Information" button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says "DirectX components" then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.
 
Do you have auto update on for windows or any other program?

Update your video driver it is out of date.
 
Go to the Nvidia site and get it yourself, unless you did it after the report you posted, because that one says you are using a driver that is a year and a half old, when new drivers often come out once a month, that is antique.

You should also try uninstalling the quicktime completely, it is not that big of a deal to reinstall it, if it does not prove to be the problem, You most likely have it doing auto updates as well.
 
You could try renaming the Music folder to Music_bak
IF that doe snot work yes a reinstall is fine to keep your saves copy them from the save games folder to a folder to a temp folder on your desktop, make sure you copy or move the file there and don't just create a shortcut to them.
 
Try it both ways.
