WinXP SP2 PS:T Crash

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I've reinstalled Planescape: Torment again after playing it a few years ago. I'm running an AMD64 3200+ with Windows XP SP2, a GeForce 4 Ti4400, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard, 1gig of ram. The game loads up fine (Full install, 1.1 patch) though the intro videos seem a bit jumpy. Assign my stats for Nameless, start out in the Morturary, and Morte comes over. But right before the dialog window pops up, the game crashes and my system reboots.

I've even tried the game on a seperate machine running Win98, and just trying to start the program blue screens the machine.

I've got the original 4cd version, not the 2cd version.

Anybody have any ideas on what I should do next? Thanks in advance.

Have you downloaded the official patch?
Have you tried running the game in compatibility mode?
To run it in compatibility mode, right click on the PS:T shortcut in winXP, go to the compatibility tab, and play around with the settings.

Yep. Have the patch, tried the full install, tried compatability mode. tried it in a native Windows 98 install, on a different machine. Cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

I have Service Pack 2 and a Turtle Beach sound card as well and no problems. Do you have the latest drivers for the Santa Cruz?

In general, your best bet is trying to make the game work on your Windows 98 machine. The blue screen is likely caused by a problem with the operating system itself. If you can somehow get around it, you'll be able to see if the crash you're experiencing is perhaps related to a damaged CD.
