No... Take these steps (for Windows XP).
1) Click Start
2) Click Run
3) Type dxdiag and click OK
4) Click the 'Sound' tab.
5) Under 'Hardware Sound Acceleration Level'... Move the slider to 'Standard Acceleration'.
6) Try and go in a car modification shop and if it still crashes repeat steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 but instead of changing it to 'Standard Acceleration' change it to 'Basic Acceleration'
I had exactly the same problem about 1 year ago but now my problem is solved.
