Sigh. I no longer have this system, but when I did I had crashes that went away once I dumped the creative sound drivers. This totally eliminated NWN crashes, and crashes from other games. I was amazed that the sound drivers could cause so much trouble, trouble I normally blamed in my mind on the game programmers.
For those of you stilll using win98 and having a soundblaster live!, you allready know creative labs has not put out a new driver in years.
Fear not. If you are proficient enough to read and follow instructions [not mine], and do not fear having to re-install win98 if something bad happens, you may want to try the KX project drivers.

http://www.driverheaven.net/forum.php?For me it was days of effort, some reinstalling win98 after screwing up something, but in the end, my game crashes went away. Something the vendor of my sound card [Creative Labs] was unable or unwilling to do.
I have a new machine now, but I hope this helps those that are near their wit\'s end. I make no guarantees for this game, but perhaps the PS devs should take win98 + soundblaster + creative drivers into account, if they have not allready.
