Sound Stops then Game Crashes

from Elemental Forums

I have been hooked on this game since my Friend showed me the beta but for some reason it is a crash feast on my machine.  I go into a battle make a move the music will still play but the other sounds stop.  (Ex..Lighting, Grunts from units getting hit,...).  I can finish the battle but after if I don't save and exit the game a few turns later it will crash.  Any ideas would help.  I have already updated by video, sound and motherboard chip-set drivers.

Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and link the contents into a post here via pastebin. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

The file can be found in My Documents\My Games\Elemental

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug log will be erased and recreated for the new session.

If there was a dump zip created in C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic on Windows XP), please post that too.

Saves shouldn't be needed for this sort of issue, no.
