I had the exact same problem. I found that it was because I had the hardware acceleration disabled for my sound card. I would check that in your control panel.

i can't find that option in the control panel

Go to Control Panel then to Sounds and Multimedia. Then click on the audio tab. In the sound playback section at the top click on the Advanced button then you want to go to the Performance tab. Make sure Hardware Acceleration is at full.

Start - Run - dxdiag, choose sound tab.

Just in case u got a sound card like mine that has its own control panel program, with some nice stuff not on there

If you have an nvidia card and the game keeps crashing stop by www.3dchipset.com and get the nvidia BETA drivers 27.xx I did that cause my computer would blue screen on me when I ran mohaa. After I installed those beta drivers it runs perfect.

also what fixes the grey screen is Go into the Main folder and rename ffx86.dll to .bak

... And I thought I was the only one !!! I got round this problem (it affected all my games once I installed extra ram) by installing the latest VIA 4in1 drivers ... it was an AGP issue. If that doesn't work, try the separate AGP driver ... (only for those with VIA chipsets, of course !!!).
