ok.. i have looked more at this, and there are some 'reasons' that we have to look at:
Remove the Lmms folder in Program Files (C:\Program Files\LMMS.... )
manually (if necessary).
Do you use any unicode charachters in any of your paths on your pc
Unicode chars are not supported, only ascii-chars are, and unicode has given several other peeps problems -However , afaik - not crashes, but lost Settings and unable to load instruments.
Another thing i have to ask you -Is your xp an original-purches, or ..
Some has had problem with a missing dll
avrt.dll, otherwise located at the windows\system32-folder
Do you have that? ..Pira..d xps have strangely been missing this file |?
If you do not have it.. for what ever reason.., you should try a repair /recover
An orr. xp disk is needed for this.

Lets see if any of this helps, before last option is tried..

It is hardly. However, I ran FAR file manager and searched "Program files" and "LMMS" strings in DOS codepage. All are found.Do you use any unicode charachters in any of your paths
I checked DLLs used by LMMS with Process Explorer on machine where LMMS runs fine. This DLL is not listed in DLLs used by LMMS process.Some has had problem with a missing dll avrt.dll
Furthemore, this DLL is not available in System32 folder or any other folder on machine with 100% legal Windows XP where LMMS runs fine.

..hm 
well one shot left, i think -And thats not even a good one, but
Here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmms/files/lmms/
Are lmms versions from previous
Remove everything!
DL 0.15 32 bit
If it runs, well, then you can start up with a quite good version of lmms, and then see how things are, when 1.1 is released.
I know this is a crappy 'solution' -
If it does not run - then something really strange lives on you system..
I gues you already have cheked for HW conflicts, and that sound in general works perfect
Have you done a dxdiag?
