curse of monkey island: crashes very early with this message

I am trying to run COMI on Windows XP. The game crashes early on in the part with Wally crying. I tried using the "gaff" with the cannon and it crashed everytime. I read in some post that it is helpful for you guys if the game is run in DOS mode and the error message copy pasted so here it is:

Looking for comi
Trying to start game 'The Curse of Monkey Island'
Assertion Failed: _numCompItems > 0, file scumm/imuse_digi/dimuse_bndmgr.cpp, line 199

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I have a widescreen Dell monitor and the game ran fullscreen till that point the first time. After that it would only run in windowed mode till that point. Either way it wouldn't last beyond it.

Very frustrating.

Would appreciate an email at skaios@gmail.com if a solution is found. Thanks.

just a guess, but this looks like a sound problem; maybe it'd be possible to work around it with disabling sound? (or is imuse run anyways?)

i dont know how to check if imuse is running or not.. and it wouldn't be half the fun without the sound..
