Tech novice here so im just guessing... it is something to do with the clan destroyed movie ? (it does play a movie right ?) try disabling the movie and you just get a message instead, which hopefully won't cause a CTD

Is it the movie or message that does it or something else you think ?

Is the movie a fullscreen movie or one of the ones that are windowed (like the ninja movies)?

If so, disabled them already.

I think its a window'd one, it may just be a message though... has been a while

Im just guessing now but is direct x usually to do with graphics ? have you tried tinkering with screen resolution and other graphic settings in game ?

Also i have found putting things in compatibility mode for windows 98 helps with some old games, right click shortcut for shogun and i think its under the menu on the right...

DirectX is graphics AND sound.

The last things I see before the CTD are the message that I've either taken the clan's castle or 'ninja assasination success' or even if I simply killed the Daimyo via battle, 'Victory!'

Well try fiddling with graphics, try muting or replacing sound, and try out different compatabilitys modes...

Muting doesn't work, no luck with graphics, running Windows ME so no compatability mode issues.

According to the internets, .CPP is for Maya OpenGL scene, so logically it should be an error with OpenGL. DIrectX says it's working fine though.
