help: curse of monkey island error in windows xp

[ibiris]

Just bought CoMI for a couple of quid. I was looking forward to the game up

until the point where I cut the rope on the cannon, and let it off. I was

then faced with a cut-scene that ran so fast all I saw where about 5 frames

and what sounded like a grunt from lechuck. The cut scene then froze at the

end with a capsized ship, and a trademark windows 'halt' ding sound. Upon

pressing ctrl alt del, I was faced with an error box titled 'SmushDS' or

smash maybe; saying "Error 80070057 while locking the sound buffer!"

I have tried to use different compatibility modes to solve this, but none

helped.tried using a program to slow the cpu down, that didnt help either.

short spec follows..

2.26 p4, 512mb ram, GF4 4400.

and another thing, the initial cut-scene at the start of the game ran

perfectly well.

thanks in advance.
