I'm still an old XP users, but make sure you follow the protocol for installing the game with win7, think most install to a different dir. However, sounds like you're having a hardware issue, graphics or driver.

Make sure you DL DX9 from the disc, the game works better with that, it's really needed. You can have multiple versions installed, games find what they need, so don't worry about that.

Not sure about newer cards, but one thing I learned about nvida drivers,
they can screw up many soundcards, because they load sound files. I always have to remove and reinstall my sound drivers anytime I updated my nvida graphics drivers. The issue I got was the game would lag out to nothing, FPS get low and often sounds like the torp explosion, would crash the game right as they registered, simply crash before the boom.

Anyway, I think it's a sound driver issue
