You may well have a bad coded, or one of the cards that cannot play multiple MP3 sound files siimultaneously.
Turn all sound off:
1) on the Game Options programme
Misc tab - set mouse click to off.
2) Open the game and choose
PREFERENCES and in there set Sound FX and Battle FX both to OFF.
Exit game to ensure preferences saved, then re-enter and try a quick test game. If your problems went away then you have either a bad audio codec installed, or a sound card which cannot hack multiple MP3 streams (the latter tend to be, but are not always, budget integrated sound chips).
A bad codec is up to you to find by checking your installed codecs through the usual windows utilities. (The name of the codec may be in the crash report - XP gives you one of these, not sure about Se. The crash report may report about a bad .vxd file for example).
If your sound card and/or codec cannot handle multiple MP3 files, there are instructions elsewhere (and these will be included in the patch) how to convert the sounds to WAV format, and to update the sounds.ini file to point to WAV files. Try searching the forum for "goldwave" (the conversion programme) to find these posts.
