Game Crashes at startup!

My friend recently got SEV and everytime he tries to start up it gives an access error. He thinks it might have something to do with the fact he doesn't have a sound card installed. Don't ask me why he doesn't cause he won't even give me a straight answer on that. Anyhow anyone know if this might be the source of the bug?

I must also point out that I've noticed in my own game when the music loops around for another cycle it does slow the game down a LOT for a brief secound it's kinda odd.
