sounds like it's crashing on the intro movie screen. There are a number of posts about movie issues which may help here. Make sure you have the latest direct X and drivers loaded and read the other posts. If that fails, then repost and hopefully stardock can help.

OK - Solved

The Solution was to enable the hardware acceleration for the sound card.

Now, back to play

Perhaps someone will find it useful..

I had the same error as French_Spooky.

Game just froze at intro. I fixed the problem by downloading newest sound drivers.
