This is an XP bug, Larry. I get it quite a bit but usually the game freezes on a sound loop after a period of non-related server lag and then locks up entirely. It then lags for about 1-2 mins after the game is exited like you said with icons on the desktop not responding or doing so after lots of time. It clears when XP finally delivers the infamous 'Send error report'.

I hate it I really do, and I don't think they have any intention of fixing it cuz I've been making them aware for months. I'd hold off on a new soundcard, maybe try changing your sound config to 'Miles Fast' and see if that helps.
Could be the vid drivers..video lag will also lag sound so it is possible, but I'm 99 % sure it's the old XP bug.
