Pac-Man World 2 crash during tutorial - please read

[KRoP]

I'm running Pac-Man World 2 from my own copy on the most recent version of PCSX2 (has to be the most recent version, I downloaded it today). Configuration went well, everything works fine until the game tries to render an extra life during the tutorial text- the sound keeps playing but video and input freeze. The wiki says this game runs fine so I'm willing to believe I did something wrong. What is the first thing I should try? Thanks so much.

My specs:
CPU - i7 2600
Graphics Card- GTS 450
Memory- 8GB DDR3
OS- Windows 7 x64

Version of PCSX2- You didn't read my post. But that's ok. No non-default settings except that I use ZeroSPU2 for audio (the default had no sound) and used realtime rather than timeskipping for audio. Everything else is default.

Here is a pic. The extra life is just... not there. It's surreal.
