Game crashes fast - No reason or rhyme behind it

[Strangepork]

So I download WinSPWW2 and fire it up after a while. Game purrs for a short period of time into the tutorial, then it just crashes going to next turn. So I fire it up again, skip trying the Tutorial, dink around with generate a campaign. Game crashes while browsing unit options for my Canadian army. Repeat this about 10-20 times, same results. IF I move fast, and quickly, I can actually get to the first mission of the campaign, only to have it crash when I try to start my first turn.

I've made no changes to the game, downloaded the recent patch (Yes, the correct version), and have played with available graphics options to try to get it working.

-Intel Celeron D 2.0 GHz
-Ati Radeon 9600 Pro
-768 of SDRAM
-Win XP Pro Corp SP 2
-Soundblaster 5.1 LIVE!

Crash technical information can be provided (Hey, it'll only take me a few minutes)

Thanks for any help~

first thing I would check is to turn sound off and see if it changes anything.

That includes mouse click effect btw. You find it inthe opening screen under Misc.
