runtime error

as a new user i'm not sure if this has been covered before, but could find no indication that it had.
i run FOG on a laptop with Vista operating system, up until recently this worked fine but now it allows me to setup a game and as soon as i move a unit the game stops running and shows "runtime error common/win32/WindowsSoundPlayer.cpp:285 failure condition:0 (null). windows then closes the game down.
i have tried uninstalling, reinstalling the game and updating but this does not make any difference.
do you know how i can remedy this?

thanks

Is this happening in all battles or only specific scenarios?

Ca you post the full error log or is that what you posted?

If it used to work something on your PC must have changed but working out what will be tricky. Maybe some new software or a windows update?

thanks very much for your quick reply.
this happens on all games, the full error message is:
runtime error
press ok to continue
press cancel to quit
please report what caused this error along with the information below
../../../common/win32/WindowsSoundPlayer.cpp:285 failure condition:0
(null)
when i click ok a windows message shows "field of glory has stopped working. A problem caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available".
so far windows has no suggestions. i have not added any software and the only updates have been those prompted by microsoft.

my laptop has just stopped working completely. obviously the runtime error was not a game fault and was a symptom of the immanent collapse of my PC. sorry to have bothered you and thanks very much for your time.
