Newbie question: crashes on Windows XP

After installing Croquet and then OpenAL 1.1, running Croquet resulted in an error-message dialog followed by a crash when I told it to continue.  I downloaded and installed the OpenAL SDK, but it still crashed.  I am able to run the OpenAL EFX10Show program, so I think the install worked.

Sometimes it throws an internal dialog about not understanding a message, sometimes it just crashes.  This happens after the "Loading file..." progress bar reaches about 90% of its region after I drag the "Demo (Master)" icon into the background in the "First Steps" panel.  It also happens when I drag any of the other ones there.

Windows XP, current patches.  I did allow the program to contact the network at startup.  I started by running "Croquet.bat" from C:\Program Files\CroquetSDK-1.0.18.

I attach the crash dump file in case that helps.  I also put a screen capture of the error dialog that comes up sometimes:



Any idea what to try?

Thanks!
Russell

It was set on "Auto" (presumably on both machines I tried).

I turned this off on my laptop (GeForce Go 7950 GTX) and it still
crashes the same way.  Any other obvious settings to try?

Thanks,
Russell
