Worms 3D crashes on startup - Radeon 9200

[CrudOMatic]

The game crashes shortly after startup (while at the loading screen)

I tried every Resolution, and still the same results.
I tried every Solution, and still the same results.

I've used glIntercept to try and diagnose the problem, the last function logged before crashing is: glClientActiveTextureARB()
(I don't know if this is a vid driver function or a function in the game)

My setup is:

OS: WinXP Pro SP2
Proc: Dual Pentium 3 1.2 GHz
Mobo: Tyan S2507T (Tiger 230T)
Chipset: Via Apollo Pro 133A
Mem: 1GB of PC100/133 SDRAM (not sure of the exact speed)
Video: ATI Radeon 9200 / Driver: Catalyst 6.14.0010.6614
DirectX 9.0c (I know the game uses OpenGL - listing J.I.C.)
NO Sound Card (should work fine without one??)

Thanks in advance,
Crud

Read the box. Sound card required. Have you tried updating your video card drivers?

[CrudOMatic]

Yes, the drivers are the latest. I did find something very odd though.

Talking to other people on other forums the newer OpenGL drivers for the 9200 are supposed to be v1.4+, but I ran HardwareInfos and it reported OpenGL 1.3.x

WTF?? I guess maybe ATI went back to using 1.3?

I'll try getting a new soundcard (old one died) and see if that helps. Most games just don't use their sound routines when a soundcard isn't present.

I had this problem yesterday, my game crashes shortly after gamestart (no sega image no nothing, only black screen and then *.exe error.

I had this problem because I overwrite some speech schemes in the data/audio folder, because the formats wasn't the same as the original, like *.wav with 32 khz, 16 and 512 kbps :S and the sounds I put was *.wav 32 khz, 16 bit and 128 kbps :S. Now it works fine and I have no problem (only the tipical online crashes). Maybe you have overwrite some important file (you use a crack?, it you are using a crack for the SP1 version it going to not work with the SP2 installed...

Mi system specifications are:
WIN XP PRO with integrated Service Pack 2
AMD XP 2400+ overclocked to +2800 (about 2.4 - 2.6 ghz)
512 Ram DDR 333
ATI x1650pro 512 mb on AGP 8x
Asrock K7s8x rev 3
Hitachi 250 gb ata 133
And an integrated sound card, 5.1 with sound drivers Xeard 3D.

However... try to upgrade you'r sound card drivers and graphics.
