can you post the contents of myth_log.txt here? Maybe it'll give us a clue as to what's wrong.

Probably because it was crashing before it could get to loading plugins.

When is it crashing? Loading a map or starting Myth? If it's loading a map, try changing the renderer type from direct3d to opengl or software.

when it fires up it crashes the screen blinks 7 times then that damn windows message pops up Myth II: Soulblighter has encountered an unexpected problem and is closing.
