First suggestion is to completely uninstall it and reinstall it.

Second suggestion is to install it over the new install and get the patch installed too.

If ya didnt get it to work...This improved sounds capacity soundcfg.dat could be the solution:

www.otto-wipfel.co.uk/downloads/soundcfg-dat.zip

Try that once or this here Sound Acceleration which is set in DirectX. Run "dxdiag" in Windows/Start/Run and then adjust the Sound Acceleration slider to Basic if your are having Sound related crashes

If any of them dont work...Let me know....
