find the AVI sub folder (located in the folder you installed DD to) and rename it to AVI_back
 
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.
 
The only thing that jumps oput at me is the lack of free space on your C: drive.
Id that where your Virtual memory is?

And you do not get any kind of error message?
Does the system lock up and you have to hit the power button?
Or does it just freeze the game screen and you can Ctrl-Alt-Del and close it?
 
I hate to ask but could you try installing the game again?
 
Okay rename the AVI subfolder to AVI_back and the Music Folder to Music_bak
And if you have a sound folder rename it to Sound_bak
 
So looks like a problem with the sound card.
Do you mabe have something running in the background that uses the sound card?
 
More with the music ability rather than sound effects.
 
Sounds strange, does this happen everytime you play or is it just one time?
