Having to move your sound slider indicates your sound driver might not be up to the task. Since there more reasons than a person can count why any particular game might crash you have to try everything until it goes away. Here are a very few of the most common mistakes-fixes:
-Confirm computer meets or excedes min game specs (including vid card supported.)
-Full reinstall.
-Run game without the no cd crack.
-Lastest drivers on video, audio and chipset. Note: If you have ATI, uninstall all ATI software from Control Panel before installing new driver.
-Run scandisk on the game installation drive.
-Clean system with minimum auto start programs. Note: If you have more than 4 accessories in your task tray with no programs started, you should clean up your autostarts.
-No Viruses or Spyware.
-Check for generous disk space available.
-Install DX9.0c again to make sure it isn't corrupted. Run the DX tests.
-Don't try to load previous game saves made prior to patch 1.2. Note: You can only restart a career after patching by launching one of the Base autosaves.
-No mods until the game is tested stable for a while.
-If you have download version of the game, you must be connected to the Internet to pass copy protection.
-You should only defrag if the MS defrag software says you should, otherwise it's wasted time and wear on the drive.
-If you have a fixed swap cache, make sure it's 1.5 times the size of your installed memory. A fixed cache can reduce fragmentation, but most of the time, Windows Managed is fine.
