Demo crashes after initial setup

[Rex_the_Hex]

I have the demo Version of the game and it crashes after you go through the start new game steps. It crashes after it creates maps maybe after you enter in your ship and captain name.

I read through a few of the Posts related to this and tried a few of the suggestions listed there:

I tried to rename my music folder under the starfury demo folder, and that did not work.

I goto "Windows Update" and it says all of my drivers are up to date.

I tried to install the StarFury patch, but I guess it won't let you patch the demo, so that does not work.

I am running XP, service pack 1 with all the latest updates. My sound card is a Creative SB Live! Series (WDM), as opposed to WMD, but you won't find any of those....

So, I am stuck right now...

Any ideas??
