This was sent to me and it works. Look under the control panel for this.
Thanks Barry!
"Before loading the game, disable directx sound acceleration in the A3d
control
panel. The problem occurs regardless of the Sidewinder, since my computer
has
a Gravis Gamepad Pro, and no Sidewinder. BTW, I'd love to take the credit
for
this fix, but I can't. I found it by searching some postings using the
PowerSearch on the Dejanews web site. Good luck."
