cr2=82828408 would be an exceptionally high address in CWSDPMI which starts
it's address space at 10000000 - so this would be near 2Gb of address space.
It looks like this is a bad pointer.  The second GPF seems to have happened
when trying to clean up inside of CWSDPMI from the first problem.  When it
dies that usually means something pretty bad.  I usually look at the EIP
and compare it to the map file and/or debugger to figure out what it was
trying to do when it puked (which tells what got smashed).  What version 
of CWSDPMI is this on?
