WinME?
You don't happen to be using a SBlive card?
Well regardless those older OS's are usually not compatible with DX9. The Drivers, I mean...such as the sound driver.
Anyway, try putting Directsound Acceleration into Basic mode. Do that by typing dxdiag in the Run... menu of windows, and then select the Tab that says Sound. There is a slider bar on the bottom just move it a few notches to the left.
Playing the game in quarter screen mode, can also get you passed a few crashes, for some reason.
You may also want to try to play that movie in mediaplayer.... if it doesn't play in that...then the disk is probably, corrupt.
