Hi, it is an easy fix - start the game and when the screen comes up with Brian Lara i.e after the movie and credits but just before the main menu you need to do this: hold down the right arrow key and press enter at the same time. You will hear a funny noise and then the main menu will come up, if you hear music the game will not hang!

install the game in the maximum option.Disable the sound,music and commentary from the options menu and update your sound card drivers.

try upadting the drivers as ritwik says .....

Another thing that should work (I have tried it many times),
Try pressing the arrow keys randomly(5-6 times) at the Lara screen. Also do something similar when the scoreboard appears as you exit a match. This should help ....
