The AI traffic problems were finally fixed in 0.9.8a, which should be available from the website as well (I think). I would doubt, however, if that is causing your abort, becuase the traffic manager is by default disabled. You might want see if you can grab the latest sound drivers. IIRC, many onboard sound drivers don't work well with openal unless you have the latest drivers. Regards, I would try installing 0.9.8a first, and if that doesn't work, have a look at the sound drivers.
